Description

The premier S.E. Shires B-flat trumpet, the Destino III has developed through a close collaboration with Doc
Severinsen over several years. The Destino III includes several specific design elements not found on other S.E.
Shires trumpets. As might be expected, it works outstandingly for jazz and for commercial/popular music. It has
also become popular among discriminating classical trumpet players, who find it useful for everything from
solo literature to large orchestral works.

Doc Severinsen has poured a lifetime of experience—and countless hours of experimentation, research, and
development at the S.E. Shires factory—into achieving the incredible balance of components that make up
the Destino III. The custom leadpipe and braced, semi-round tuning slide provide an open, but efficient blow,
“right down center.” They balance the standard weight Doc bell taper perfectly. Nickel-silver balusters add
brilliance and character to the sound. Narrow bracing contributes to the instrument’s superlative response,
cleanness, and ease of attack. Powerful and full in the upper and middle registers, this instrument also boasts
a surprisingly full low register. And despite its potential for power, the Destino III’s lightweight front end and
efficient venturi make it capable of incredible delicacy. The Doc Severinsen Destino III unlocks an unbelievably
broad spectrum of nuance and color for any player.
