Sample Shires Q Series Bass Trombone
This bass trombone was on loan to a local college as a part of a sample program. It might have a few scratches but is otherwise brand new. Using the resources of S.E. Shires' parent company, the Eastman Music Company, we have been able to develop a more affordable class of professional brass instrument: the Q Series. These instruments represent the philosophy of Eastman Music Company, to produce the finest musical instruments at every price point. 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 that includes some of the finest professional musicians in the world. • QBY bell: 9½-inch, two-piece, hand-hammered “QBII” taper in lightweight yellow brass with soldered bead• Independent F/G? rotary valves• Q62 handslide: .562-inch, standard-weight yellow brass; nickel-silver crook• QYB tuning slide• Three interchangeable yellow-brass leadpipe
