This S.E. Shires TG tuning slide was designed for large-bore tenor trombones (.547) and is fully compatible with all Shires Custom-Series and Q-Series instruments.
It can also be paired with straight-neck pipe setups or certain medium-bore Shires bells for players seeking a different tonal response.
The “TG” designation stands for Tenor Gold Brass, referring to the material of the drawn tubes.
Gold brass generally offers a slightly broader, darker tonal character compared to yellow brass, giving players more warmth and flexibility while maintaining solid core and projection.
Like all Shires tuning slides, the TG model is crafted with precision to ensure consistent fit, airtightness, and smooth action.
Many players experiment with different tuning slides as part of the Shires modular concept — swapping them is one of the simplest ways to fine-tune response and resistance.
This particular TG tuning slide is now part of our Archive of Sold instruments and components, serving as a reference for players and collectors researching Shires parts.
