S.E. Shires TBQ30YR - Shires Q Pro Trombone - F Attachment - QI Bell

A Cinch in Every Situation

Today’s trombone players need an instrument that’s versatile enough to handle any playing situation. And for that, we recommend you try out an S.E. Shires Q30YR professional tenor trombone. A member of Shires’ Q Series, this trombone delivers the boutique quality you expect from S.E. Shires at a justifiable price point. It comes with an 8.5-inch yellow brass bell that sings out expansive tones with superb projection. Players will love the smooth action of the 0.547-bore, standard-weight yellow brass handslide and nickel-silver crook. For an expanded low register, S.E. Shires added an open wrap F attachment with their handy rotary valve. Your new Q30YR trombone comes complete with three interchangeable yellow brass leadpipes, so you can customize the instrument’s response to fit your needs. The Q30YR is the perfect gateway to the S.E. Shires family.

QTY bell design helps this trombone sing

S.E. Shires believes that the traditional manufacturing techniques make the best trombones. The company’s expert brass artisans hammer each bell by hand, imparting character and life into every trombone. Case in point, the Q30YR comes with an 8.5-inch QTY bell made from balanced-sounding yellow brass. QTY bells offer a 2-piece design with a separate stem and flare for excellent stability and tonal density. The bell’s QI taper gives this trombone a darker tonal quality that harkens back to the vintage Elkhart-made instruments. Finally, the QTY bell includes a soldered bead for finely-tuned articulation. Every component of this bell works together to provide the player with an expansive sound and top-notch projection.

Rotary F attachment improves low range sound

By their very nature, F attachments introduce extra resistance to a trombone. With S.E. Shires’ rotary valves, however, resistance is minimized! The company’s optimized valve design foregoes the sharp bends found in traditional rotors to keep the air moving in a straight line. For the player, rotary valves deliver remarkable focus and clarity in the valve register for a smoother, free-blowing feel. If improved focus and less wind resistance are at the top of your wish list, choose an S.E. Shires trombone equipped with a rotary valve.
