Pre-Owned Shires Destino III Severinsen Model Trumpet in Silver Plate!

This Shires Doc Severinsen Destino trumpet is in excellent condition. There are some minor signs of use that you would expect with a pre-owned instrument. There is some slight scuffing in the finish on the third slide near the valve and on the leadpipe near the valves. There are also some slight scratches along the bell, but there are no dings or dents.  There's also a slight waviness to the bell bead, which came from the factory.  This horn comes with a great Marcus Bonna Shires Double case. This trumpet plays truly ridiculously well.

Shires says:

The premier S.E. Shires B-flat trumpet, the Destino III was developed through a close collaboration between Doc Severinsen and the craftsmen of S. E. Shires over several years. The Destino III includes several specific design elements not found on other standard S.E. Shires trumpet. As you might expect, it works outstandingly for jazz and for commercial/popular music. It has also become popular among discriminating classical trumpet players who find it useful for everything from solo literature to large orchestral works.

Doc Severinsen has poured a lifetime of experience, and countless hours of experimentation, research, and development at the S.E. Shires factory into achieving the incredible balance of components that make up the Destino III. The custom leadpipe provides an ideal combination of stability and flexibility, with a blow "right down the center;" its efficient front end balances the openness of the un-braced, semi-round tuning slide while complimenting the centered, custom Model A bell taper. Nickel-silver balusters add brilliance and character to the sound. Narrow bracing contributes to the instrument' superlative response, cleanness, and ease of attack. Powerful and direct in the upper and middle registers, this instrument also boasts a surprisingly beefy low register. And despite its potential for great power, the Destino III's lightweight front end and efficient venturi make it capable of incredible delicacy. The Doc Severensin Destino III unlocks an unbelievably broad spectrum of nuance and color for any player.
