The S.E. Shires TW47YC Handslide is a lightweight .547 large bore tenor slide designed for players who want maximum responsiveness and clarity in their sound. The yellow brass end crook provides a crisp articulation with just the right amount of resistance, making it a versatile choice for symphonic, solo, and commercial applications.
This model features a twin radius handslide and includes three removable leadpipes, allowing the player to fine-tune resistance and feel based on personal preference or ensemble needs. It pairs exceptionally well with Shires bells like the 7YLW, 7GLW, or Vintage NY II, helping players craft a balanced setup that projects effortlessly in any setting.
This slide was sold brand new as part of our curated inventory and included the standard 2-year Shires factory warranty at the time of purchase. Like many components sold through The Brass Exchange, it was selected with performance in mind — ideal for serious players building or upgrading a custom modular setup.
