Pre-Owned S.E. Shires Q Series TBQ30 Professional Tenor Trombone - Clear Lacquer
The S.E. Shires TBQ30 is an absolute powerhouse of a modern symphonic trombone, delivering the legendary acoustic design and premium feel that put Shires on the map, but at a much more accessible price point. The Q Series is universally loved by advancing conservatory students and gigging professionals because it offers a broad, singing tonal core and a remarkably even response across all registers. If you are looking for a world-class large-bore trombone that can effortlessly anchor a wind ensemble or soar over a symphony orchestra, this is a phenomenal instrument.

Cosmetics: Great Player's Condition. This trombone has been actively played and well loved, showing slight, honest cosmetic wear in the common touch points (like the slide grip and neckpipe). We have pictured all the wear spots clearly. It remains structurally solid, shines beautifully under stage lights, and is ready for heavy use.
-
Mechanics: Bench-Tested & Ready. Our in-house master technicians have fully inspected this horn from top to bottom. The handslide is smooth and aligned, the rotary valve is quick and quiet, and the tuning slides pull freely. It is 100% stage-ready.

Accessories: Includes a protective hard case for safe transport.
