This is an S.E. Shires Bb trumpet that was designed in collaboration with Trent Austin at Austin Custom Brass during the period when Trent Austin endorsed Shires. When that relationship ended, Shires continued to make this trumpet as their CMW model. That is to say, this trumpet has all the specifications of the SE Shires CMW which include the following:
Bore: .459 inch
CMW Bell: 4 13⁄16 inch, one piece, hand-hammered "C" (open) taper in standard-weight yellow brass with traditionally brazed seam and French bead
W05 Leadpipe: .345-inch venturi, lightweight yellow brass—efficient, flexible, open and free blowing, with easy, immediate response
XD Tuning Slide: dual-radius bend, dual bore, standard water key; free blowing and flexible
Piston Material: hand-lapped Monel
Valve Cluster: two-piece casings, lightweight, with yellow-brass balusters
Lower Valve Caps: lightweight yellow brass
Finish: silver plate
This trumpet is in excellent condition with no dings or dents. Normal wear only but the Silver is 99% intact. Valves and slides work smoothly and there is good compression.
With this horn you are getting a CMW at half the new price from Shires. No case included.
