The S.E. Shires Model 9Y Custom Series Professional Bb/A Piccolo Trumpet offers you superior intonation and response in the high register. Handcrafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as S.E. Shires' larger trumpets, this piccolo trumpet produces a rich, beautiful sound ideal for solo and chamber work yet powerful enough to cut through the largest ensembles. The four-valve cluster provides a stable feel and warm tone, while the unique fourth valve placement allows comfortable playing by either hand. Four interchangeable leadpipes let you perform in Bb or A using cornet or trumpet mouthpieces. When musical demands call for pinpoint accuracy and delicacy at the extreme high end of the register, the S.E. Shires Model 9Y Custom Series Professional Bb/A Piccolo Trumpet delivers.
