The slide tubing of S.E. Shires handslides is drawn in house, to precise tolerances. Our slides are then carefully assembled, aligned, and stress relieved to assure the smooth, trouble-free action that has become the hallmark of S.E. Shires trombones. Handslide models are specified by letters indicating instrument type (A = alto, T = tenor, B = bass) and crook width (no indication for standard, W = wide, B = bass crook), followed by bore size in inches (second two digits only), then tube material, weight, and crook material, if non standard.
Single bore slides have a clear sound and can be more articulate than dual bore. Examples include:
T47: .547-inch (large) bore tenor handslide with tenor crook—centered sound and feel
TW47: .547-inch (large) bore tenor handslide with wide crook—our most popular design, combines efficient feel and response with orchestral breadth of sound—very easy to adapt to any playing situation
TB47: .547-inch (large) bore tenor handslide with bass crook—for players desiring an expansive sound and feel
T25: .525-inch (medium) bore tenor handslide
TW25: .525-inch (medium) bore tenor handslide with wide crook
B62: .562-inch bore bass handslide
T85: .485-inch (small) bore tenor handslide
T00: .500-inch(small) bore tenor handslide
T08: .508-inch (small) bore tenor handslide
Single Bore Slides
Dual Bore Slides
Dual bore slides have an open sound and feel, require more air, and produce a larger sound compared to the upper-leg's single bore equivalent,. The first number indicates the bore of the upper leg of the slide; the second number the lower leg. Examples include:
B62•78: .562-.578 bore bass handslide
TB47•62: .547-.562 bore tenor or small bass handslide
T25•47: .525-.547 bore tenor handslide
TW25•47: .525-.547 bore tenor handslide with wide crook
T08•25: .508-.525 bore tenor handslide
T00•08: .500-.508 bore tenor handslide
T85•95: .485-.495 bore tenor handslide
A85•95: .485-.495 bore alto handslide with tuning in crook
Slides with no additional markings are standard weight, with yellow-brass tubes, nickel-silver sleeves, and a nickel-silver crook. Other options are available:
LW: Lightweight—no sleeves—quicker response, more open, brilliant sound
N: Nickel-silver outer tubes—brilliant, articulate sound
G: Gold-brass outer tubes—warm sound, rounded articulations)
YC: Yellow-brass crook—warmer, rounder sound and articulations
For example: TB47NLW denotes a Tenor handslide with Bass (nickel silver)crook, .547-inch bore, and outer tubes made of Nickel-silver with no sleeves (i.e., lightweight)
