SHR210
The S.E. Shires Model 210 brings the compact, centered characteristics of the American-style Knopf wrap into a beautifully versatile instrument with a dark, resonant sound. Precision-crafted Rotax rotary valves provide smooth, stable response and clarity of articulation, giving players a highly refined and connected playing experience. The spun, medium-weight bell flare contributes a warm, cohesive core that blends easily while still supporting soloistic presence. Paired with the H1 leadpipe and all-yellow-brass valve slides, the Model 210 offers the playability, reliability, and tonal refinement that orchestral and chamber musicians rely on. It is a horn that rewards expressive phrasing and gives players a deeply centered, elegant voice.
