Q36YA
Premium performance, custom potential
The Shires Q36YA Bass Trombone stands out in the Q-Series line as a versatile instrument that offers exceptional performance and value for musicians of all levels. Designed with the same dedication to quality and precision as the S.E. Shires Custom line, the Q36YA delivers a rich, resonant sound with clarity and consistency across all registers. Perfect for advancing students, educators, and professionals, this model bridges the gap between affordability and premium craftsmanship.
Central to its design is the hand-hammered, lightweight yellow brass bell, featuring a soldered bead and a carefully developed taper that produces a broad, warm tone with vibrant projection. The balance of single-bore handslide with axial-flow valves provides balanced flexibility with an open, even feel throughout the low register. Additionally, all Q-Series components are fully compatible with S.E. Shires Custom Series parts, offering players the ability to tailor the instrument to their evolving needs and preferences, making it an investment in both performance and versatility.
