Shires trombones

Craftsmanship to the core
Shires trombones are handcrafted in Massachusetts (USA), with every component meticulously produced and tested. This results in an instrument that not only sounds impressive but also offers a unique playing experience – direct, responsive, and rich in overtones.

Modular and custom
You can build your Shires trombone from separate components: bell, valve section, slide, and leadpipe. This allows you to find exactly the tone color and playing resistance that suits you. Whether you're after a bright solo sound or a warm, broad orchestral tone, with Shires you create your ideal trombone.

Chosen by the top
From principal trombonists in symphony orchestras to jazz musicians on international stages, many top players consciously choose Shires. Not only for the sound quality but also for the reliability and finishing level of each instrument.

Maintenance and overhaul
A Shires is built to last, provided it is well maintained. In our workshop, we carry out service, adjustments, and repairs with expertise and original parts. This keeps your Shires in top shape, year after year.
