Brand New S.E. Shires Q Series Alessi Model Tenor Trombone (TBQAlessi)
We are thrilled to have a brand new S.E. Shires Q Series Alessi Model tenor trombone in the shop. Designed in collaboration with Joseph Alessi (Principal Trombone of the New York Philharmonic), this instrument brings the legendary feel and acoustic brilliance of his Custom Series setup into the highly accessible Q Series line.
This horn perfectly balances the classic, broad symphonic sound required for heavy orchestral literature with the nuanced agility needed for solo and chamber work. It delivers a massive, warm, and highly focused tonal core, with a beautifully consistent response across all registers and dynamics. If you are a collegiate conservatory student or a gigging professional looking for an elite-level instrument, the Q Alessi is an absolutely phenomenal choice.
Key Features
-
The Alessi Wrap: Features a premium Shires rotary valve equipped with the custom Alessi F-attachment wrap. This specific design offers an ideal balance of resistance and feedback, allowing the low register to speak effortlessly while maintaining a brilliantly clear core.
-
Q Series Yellow Brass Bell: Features an 8.5-inch, two-piece, medium-weight yellow brass bell. It provides a highly versatile, projecting tone that can sing delicately or absolutely roar without the sound breaking up.
-
Gold Brass Tuning Slide: A signature element of the Alessi setup, the gold brass tuning slide adds a lush, velvety warmth and depth to the overall sound profile.
-
Large Bore Handslide: Features a .547" large bore standard-weight yellow brass handslide with a wide yellow brass crook, providing crisp articulations, excellent slotting, and a highly centered response.
-
Custom Flexibility: Includes three interchangeable brass leadpipes (1, 2, and 3), allowing you to perfectly dial in the resistance and response to match your specific playing style.
