The K30 is a tenor trombone that delivers the rich tonal character and dependable response that define the Shires playing experience, offering emerging musicians a truly premium feel. Its 8.5” yellow brass bell produces a resonant, projecting sound with excellent clarity and warmth, while the open-wrap F-attachment and rotary valve provide a smooth, even response through the valve register. Low notes speak with ease, upper-register focus remains secure, and the responsive handslide with nickel crook keeps articulations clean and fluid. Adaptable across styles and settings, the K30 invites players into the resonance and response that have made Shires large-bore trombones a benchmark in modern performance. 8.5" hand hammered yellow brass bell, 0.547" bore. Includes case and mouthpiece.
