Model 6F

The S.E. Shires Model 6F/6FD Eâ™­/D trumpet offers all the security and agility that you would expect from a small horn, but with a sound is powerful enough to lead a large orchestral brass section.

The standard weight 6F bell provides a bold, centered core that holds together at even the fullest dynamics—characteristics tempered by the easy response and warmth of the Y6H leadpipe.

This instrument is also available in E♭ without D bell or D slides (Custom Model 6F E♭)
