Model A
The Model A has become the most
popular S.E. Shires B-flat trumpet. It
produces a brilliant, singing tone with
marvelous projection and easy, centered
response in all registers. Its centered
bell taper produces a focused sound and
facilitates projection. The WH leadpipe
provides and ideal combination of
stability and flexibility; its free-blowing
character compliments the centered bell
taper. Nickel-silver balusters and valve
caps add brilliance and character to the
sound, increase its core, and contribute
to cleanness and immediacy of attack.
This trumpet makes a great choice as an
all-around instrument for performance
in a wide variety of musical settings.
