Brand New S.E. Shires Q10RS Professional Bb Trumpet - Silver Plate
Out of the box and ready for the concert hall! For sale is a Brand New S.E. Shires Q10RS Professional Bb Trumpet in a brilliant Silver Plate finish. The S.E. Shires Q Series has revolutionized the brass world by offering the legendary craftsmanship and acoustic design of Shires' custom horns at a highly accessible price point. The Q10RS (the reverse leadpipe version of their highly popular Q10S) produces a warm, singing sound with marvelous projection and an incredibly easy, centered response across all registers. Whether you are soaring over a concert band or blending in a brass quintet, this trumpet is an absolute joy to play.
This is the ultimate choice for the collegiate music major, or working professional who needs one versatile instrument that can do it all. If you are looking for a horn that provides the rich, colorful core of a boutique custom trumpet but with the comfortable, free-blowing feel of a reverse leadpipe, the Q10RS is exactly what you need. It is designed to be a true "chameleon" horn, easily covering ensemble playing, solo work, and commercial or classical demands with consistent slotting and clean articulation.
The "Q10RS" Advantage
- The "Q Series" Pedigree: Built using the same acoustic blueprints as Shires' world-renowned Custom Series, the Q Series delivers professional, top-tier performance at a step-up price.
- Reverse Leadpipe Design: The "R" in Q10RS stands for its QR reverse leadpipe. This heavyweight yellow brass pipe provides a more open, free-blowing feel while beautifully cushioning the blow. It allows for well-defined slots and makes delicate, soft entrances remarkably easy to execute.
- Q10 Hand-Hammered Bell: The 4 13/16-inch, one-piece hand-hammered yellow brass bell maintains a characteristic warmth and focus at louder dynamics, while providing a stunning, veiled color at lower volumes.
- Nickel-Silver Accents: Outfitted with nickel-silver balusters and valve caps. These don't just look elegant—they add brilliance and character to the sound, increase the core resonance, and contribute to a lightning-fast, immediate attack.
