Q Series are entry level professional instruments that have many of the same features as their custom counterparts. When you purchase a Q Series instrument you join the S. E. Shires family, a family which includes some of the finest professional musicians in the world.
S.E. Shires orchestral tenor trombones were the first instruments that Steve produced and were what cemented his reputation as one of the leading brass instrument designers. Players the world over have discovered that they are ideal for any orchestral or large ensemble setting. Wonderfully responsive and resonant, they also excel in solo and chamber music performance.
S.E. Shires trombones are available with a variety of options for bells, lead pipes, and tuning slides. The models listed above feature our most popular combinations.

A versatile large bore instrument, the Q30GR features the clarity of sound and projection for which S.E. Shires instruments are famed. The QTY bell features an 81⁄2-inch, two-piece, hand-hammered “QI” taper in gold brass with soldered bead, giving this trombone a clear, singing tone with excellent projection and clarity. The wide, .547 bore handslide in standard weight yellow brass yields a broad sound that retains clarity, color and projection. Paired with a nickel handslide crook, articulations are crisp and brilliant. The standard rotary valve retains focus throughout all registers without sacrificing comfort in the valve register. At home in any ensemble, the Q30GR large bore trombone is an excellent choice for any trombonist.
