The SHIRES Joseph Alessi TBALESSI is the result of extensive research and development at Shires, blending revolutionary materials and construction to achieve a perfect balance of tonal color and sound development.

Its two-piece, unsoldered yellow brass bell, lightened for ease of play, allows the player to stand out effortlessly in any ensemble or group, while maintaining an exceptional breadth of sound, even in the most demanding repertoires.

The rose brass slide and modified Alessi barrel offer remarkable depth and sound density. This trombone is designed to make a statement on the music stand.

Made in the USA, the TBALESSI features a 216 mm (8.5 inches) two-piece lightened bell with traditional wrap bracing and a special metal treatment. A special Alessi gold engraving adorns the bell, adding an elegant touch.

The Alessi Rotary Valve Bb/F system, with its rose brass F-tube and bronze rotor cap, ensures exceptional depth and sound density. The one-piece TGF tuning slide in rose brass with welded braces also contributes to the instrument's sound quality.

The TWJA slide, with a 13.89 mm (.547 inches) bore, standard weight, in rose brass with a yellow brass crook, offers precise response and great flexibility. The trombone comes with three interchangeable yellow brass leadpipes, providing optimal customization.

The Joseph Alessi model represents a true revolution in the combination of materials and construction, offering a perfect balance between color, efficiency, and resonance. Its mature sound and versatility make this instrument the ideal choice for musicians looking to stand out and reach new heights.
