Mother's Day Pick S.e. Shires Tenor Trombone M (.525 Bore) Leadpipes Click To View [02osT6uE]

Trombone leadpipes control how much air you can push through, as well as the color of tone and characteristics of articulation.

Fine-tune your sound with a new leadpipe in yellow brass, gold brass, nickel silver, or sterling silver.

Note: Customers who buy a full Shires custom tenor trombone will receive their choice of either three brass leadpipes or one sterling silver leadpipe with their purchase and do not need to buy them separately.
