Great Pre-Owned Shires! Includes Blackburn Leadpipe (and original leadpipe)
The Shires Model CVLA-L is an incredible commercial trumpet! Very efficient and super fun to play, whether you're playing ballads with a deeper mouthpiece or doing upper register work with a lead mouthpiece. This is a lightweight horn that feels well balanced in the hands, even with a clip-on bell microphone.
This pre-owned trumpet was well taken care of by its previous owners. There is some custom work done on this instrument. This incudes the Blackburn leadpipe (11-348) and custom green finger buttons. The trumpet will also come with the leadpipe and original finger buttons as well as an extra 1st valve slide without a saddle. Overall this instrument is in excellent condition and while it is used it barely shows it all (the only two "issues" are some "spots" of discolartion on the bell, a small spot of discoloration on the 1st valve slide and a missing 3rd slide stop nut).
Model CVLA-L
The S.E. Shires Model CVLA-L (Vintage Los Angeles) Bb trumpet was created to incorporate the best aspects of prized vintage horns with the modern centering and intonation for which S.E. Shires instruments are known. This new line of commercial model trumpets features the broadest S.E. Shires trumpet bell taper which produces a wide variety of tone colors easily throughout the range of the instrument. Narrow bracing contributes to the instrument’s superlative response and ease of attack. This large bore (.462) option with extra lightweight bell creates a very responsive horn with a large projecting sound.
Amazingly open and efficient, the sound of this instruments is colorful and flexible with strong slotting in the upper register. This model trumpet was created in collaboration with the highest discerning commercial players in the industry.
