Shires trumpet bell taper which produces a wide variety of tone colors easily throughout the range of the instrument.  Narrow bracing contributes to the instrument’s superlative response and ease of attack.  This large bore (.462) option with extra lightweight bell creates a very responsive horn with a large projecting sound.
