S.E. Shires TBQ36YA Professional Bb/F/Gb Bass Trombone - Axial Flow
A versatile bass trombone, the Q36YA features the clarity of sound and projection for which S.E. Shires instruments are famed.
The QYB bell features an 91⁄2-inch, two-piece, hand-hammered “QII” taper in yellow brass with soldered bead, giving this trombone a clear, singing tone with excellent projection and clarity with a full, deep low register and broad sound. The wide, .562 bore handslide in standard weight yellow brass results in a broad sound that retains clarity, color and projection. The nickel handslide crook gives crispness and brilliance to the articulations. The independent Axial-Flow valves have the most open feel and sound of any valve on the market today. Orchestral players in particular, appreciate its broad sound, pronounced low and middle overtones, and superiror blending characteristics. This independent valve system allows fore more flexibility of choice in valve and slide position choices. At home in any ensemble, the Q36YA bass trombone is an excellent choice for any situation.
