Novus is extremely proud to announce a partnership with S. E. Shires Co. As Shires Artists the members of Novus will use Shires Instruments in their quartet performances.

Mike Selover and Dana Landis made a trip to the Shires Factory in Hopedale, MA last weekend. Both are looking to purchase new instruments: Dana, a Shires “Chicago” tenor, and Mike, a custom tenor. This wasn’t Novus’s first trip to Hopedale, Mike Clayville and Dana Landis have been playing Shires horns since 1999. The whole quartet took a trip to the factory in 2010. Here are some pictures from last weekend and 2010:
