Hold Down the Low End in Style

The S.E. Shires Q36YR showcases the clarity and projection needed for orchestral playing. A member of Shires’ Q Series, the Q36YR bass trombone offers boutique quality at a price you simply can’t pass up. This professional bass trombone comes with independent F and Gb attachments for a fully-chromatic register below the staff. You’ll appreciate the nearly imperceptible wind resistance courtesy of the open attachment wraps and optimized independent rotary valves. The Q36YR is equipped with a 9.5-inch, 2-piece yellow brass bell for clarity and a balanced tonal character. What’s more, the Q36YR ships with three interchangeable leadpipes for further personalization. Order your Q36YR from Sweetwater today and experience the S.E. Shires difference for yourself.

Hand-hammered yellow brass bell for extra clarity

Traditionally, a trombone bell is hammered into shape by hand. In their pursuit of the finest sound possible, S.E. Shires relies on their team of highly-skilled artisans to transform a sheet of brass into a singing trombone bell. The Q36YR comes equipped with a QYB bell made of balanced-sounding yellow brass. This 2-piece bell design features S.E. Shires’s “QII” taper for a girthy tone. The Q36YR’s bell has a soldered bead for extra projection and focused articulation.

Independent rotary valves retain focus in the valve register

By their very nature, F and Gb 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.

Customize your instrument with interchangeable leadpipes

S.E. Shires strives for perfection with every instrument they craft. However, every player’s preference is entirely unique. So how does a manufacturer ensure that a player will love their trombone? By providing the player with multiple leadpipes to choose from, of course! When you get your new Q36YR tenor trombone, you’ll find two extra leadpipes. The extra leadpipes let you customize the trombone’s response to fit your preference. Aside from customizing the response of your trombone, each leadpipe also has its own sound. If your next project requires a slightly different sound, just thread in the appropriate leadpipe and get playing!
