This used Shires TBCW Colin Williams Artist Model large-bore tenor trombone is in excellent condition. We gave it a professional cleaning and precision rotor alignment, and there's no visible wear on the inner slides. There are some scuffs here and there and very small areas of lacquer loss at the hand contact points, but otherwise the horn is in great shape. The slide action is absolutely stellar, and the horn plays with a warm, broad sound with extremely good response thanks to the lightweight bell. Comes with the original case in excellent condition, as well as one extra modular leadpipe.

FROM SHIRES:

TBCW Colin Williams Artist Model

The Colin Williams Artist Model tenor trombone has developed over the course of the artist's long relationship with S.E. Shires instruments. The two-piece, lightweight yellow-brass bell responds easily and produces a broad sound. The harmonic content of the sound warms up evenly at strong dynamic levels without becoming edgy. These characteristics are reinforced by the efficient and responsive yellow-brass handslide with wide crook. The 2SS leadpipe played by Mr. Williams further clarifies the sound's harmonic profile, while the gold-brass tuning slide brings added warmth. This model represents an ideal realization of the heroic New York low brass sound.
