S.E. Shires Q30YR Professional Tenor Trombone (Q Series) - Rotary Valve, Yellow Brass
For sale is a phenomenal, factory-fresh professional instrument: a brand-new S.E. Shires STBQ30YR (Q30YR) Professional Tenor Trombone, serial number Q22912. S.E. Shires builds some of the most sought-after brass instruments on the planet. Their Q Series line specifically is a massive favorite for advancing collegiate majors and gigging professionals because it offers the legendary Shires acoustic design and component quality at a much more accessible price point than their fully custom horns.
This is a great option for players looking for a highly versatile, large-bore orchestral trombone that offers both power and crystal-clear articulation. Because this specific model is a "Q30YR," it features a yellow brass bell paired with a traditional rotary F-attachment valve. This combination provides a beautifully focused, bright, and singing tone that can easily cut through a concert band or orchestra, while the standard rotor provides a classic, secure resistance that many players prefer for accurate note slotting.
- QTY Yellow Brass Bell: Features an 8.5-inch, two-piece, hand-hammered "QI" taper bell in yellow brass. This material and taper give the trombone a wonderfully clear, pure tone with unmatched projection and brilliance.
- Traditional Rotary Valve: Equipped with a standard rotary F-valve, offering a compact, focused response and a very comfortable, secure feel when navigating the lower register.
- QW47 Handslide: The .547" standard-weight yellow brass slide features a wide nickel-silver crook. This setup provides an incredibly broad sound while keeping articulations incredibly crisp and fast.
- Interchangeable Leadpipes: Since this is a professional Shires instrument, it includes three interchangeable yellow brass leadpipes. This allows you to completely customize the resistance, slotting, and "feel" of the horn to perfectly match your mouthpiece and playing style.
- The Fleming Setup: Even brand-new, top-tier horns benefit from a master technician's touch. Our expert in-house staff has fully unboxed, bench-tested, and regulated this trombone to ensure the handslide is flawless and the rotary valve holds perfect compression from day one.
