S.E. Shires STRA10 Model A Student Bb Trumpet - Clear Lacquer

Bb Trumpet with Yellow Brass Body, 4.81" Bell, Monel Pistons, Thumb Saddle, 3rd Valve Slide Finger Hook, Mouthpiece, and Case - Clear Lacquer

A First-rate Horn for Burgeoning Student Trumpet Players

Designed specifically for students, the Model A student trumpet from S.E. Shires offers a premier playing experience for budding musicians. For optimum playability, the Model A incorporates a 0.459-inch bore, monel pistons, and 2-piece valve casings for spot-on pitch and clear attacks. Its yellow brass tubing flares out to a 4.81-inch bell for a sleek appearance and a brilliant, clear sound — all in a lightweight, ergonomically sound configuration. Here at Sweetwater, we commend S.E. Shires’ commitment to musical excellence, which is strongly represented even in their student-level horns. When you equip your student with the Model A, you’re ensuring they get the beginner playability they need and the pro-quality construction they deserve.

Beginner-friendly playability meets pro-level sound quality

Replete with student-friendly details, the Model A trumpet bridges the gap between beginner and intermediate-level playing. This is made possible by a combination of beginner and professional appointments. For example, the Model A is crafted with a light, balanced yellow brass construction, which encourages longer playing sessions by reducing exhaustion. Additionally, in order to give students a secure grip and increased control over their sound, the Model A is equipped with a first-valve slide thumb saddle and a third-valve slide finger hook. The result is a horn that will empower your student to play for longer periods, all while you get to take in the horn's gorgeous tone!

Response and resistance that feel just right

With a 0.347-inch leadpipe venturi and a 0.459-inch bore, the Model A meets the player's air with just the right amount of resistance for precise slotting and quick response. Its acoustic design is complemented by precision-engineered monel valves that supply smooth, quick action and excellent resistance to impact damage, moisture, and air leaks. Moreover, this horn's standard-weight 2-piece valve casing includes nickel-silver balusters for leak-free airflow and seamless transitions between notes.
