Brand New S.E. Shires Q Series TBQ30YA Professional Tenor Trombone - Axial Flow Valve
For sale is a breathtaking, Brand New S.E. Shires Q Series TBQ30YA Professional Tenor Trombone. The S.E. Shires Company is universally recognized as one of the premier custom brass makers in the world, and their Q Series represents an incredible opportunity to own that legendary Boston craftsmanship at a phenomenal value. This large-bore symphonic tenor features a premium Axial Flow F-attachment valve, delivering a massive, broad, and deeply colorful tone that projects effortlessly to the back of the concert hall.
This is the ultimate instrument for the serious collegiate major, dedicated symphony musician, or advancing conservatory student looking for a "forever" horn. If you need a large-bore trombone that can produce a rich, dark, and room-filling wall of sound that blends seamlessly within a trombone section, the TBQ30YA is designed to do exactly that.
The "Q Series TBQ30YA" Advantage
- The Axial Flow Valve: This is the star of the show! The axial flow F-valve provides an incredibly straight, open airway when engaged. This eliminates the stuffiness often associated with traditional rotary valves, resulting in an incredibly free-blowing, massive low register that feels exactly like playing an open horn.
- Hand-Hammered QTY Bell: Features an 8.5-inch, two-piece, hand-hammered "QI" taper in lightweight yellow brass with a soldered bead. This gives the trombone a clear, singing tone with brilliant articulation and world-class projection.
- QW47 Handslide: The wide, .547-inch standard-weight yellow brass handslide is incredibly smooth and responsive. Paired with a nickel-silver wide crook, it ensures your articulations are crisp and clean across all dynamics.
- Custom Customization: This horn comes with three interchangeable yellow brass leadpipes (1, 2, and 3), allowing you to perfectly dial in the horn's blowing resistance and acoustic response to match your specific mouthpiece and playing style. Plus, it is completely modular and compatible with the rest of the S.E. Shires Custom Series line!
