Description

The S.E. Shires Model CVP-S Bb Trumpet (C Vintage Paris) represents our closest approximation yet of the prewar
classic that inspired it. Its sound is incredibly versatile—it excels in jazz and commercial playing as well
as classical—and it is very easy to play. A unique version of the broadest S.E. Shires trumpet bell taper in a
slightly narrower diameter helps it to produce a wide variety of tone colors easily throughout the range of the
instrument, with a beautiful, dense core. This special bell, combined with a U5 leadpipe and braced C tuning
slide make the instrument’s harmonics feel particularly close and fluid. Narrow bracing contributes to the
instrument’s superlative response, cleanness, and ease of attack.
