S.E. Shires Q36GA Q-Series Bass Trombone Overview

The S.E. Shires Q36GA is a Q Series bass trombone built around a 9.5-inch, hand-hammered gold brass bell with a QII taper, paired with independent F/Gb axial flow valves for a free and responsive low register. It is designed to provide strong projection with a warm, centered tone, and features a .562 bore Q62 standard-weight yellow brass handslide with a nickel-silver crook for added clarity and articulation throughout the range.

Who the Q36GA Bass Trombone Is For

The S.E. Shires Q36GA is a professional bass trombone crafted for players seeking a wide, centered tone, a free-blowing valve section, and adaptable slide and valve options. Its hand-hammered gold brass bell with a QII taper produces a warm, resonant sound with strong presence and clarity, while supporting a deep, expansive low register suited to a range of modern performance settings.

The independent F and Gb axial flow valves promote smooth response and even tonal balance throughout the instrument, while also allowing flexible combinations of valve and slide positions. A .562 bore Q62 handslide delivers the breadth and stability expected from a contemporary bass trombone, and the nickel-silver crook enhances articulation with added definition without compromising tonal richness.

Common Questions About The S.E. Shires Q36GA

What does the Q36GA valve setup (independent F and Gb) do?

The Q36GA uses two independent axial flow valves that lower the instrument to F and Gb. Because the valves are independent rather than dependent, you can use either valve alone or both together, which increases alternate position choices and helps match intonation and response to different passages.

Is the S.E. Shires Q36GA suitable for professional orchestral and ensemble use?

Yes. The Q36GA is built as a professional bass trombone, with a 9 1/2-inch hand-hammered gold brass bell for warmth and projection, a .562 bore for breadth, and axial flow valves for an open-feeling valve register appropriate for demanding ensemble work.

What is included with the Q36GA?

The instrument includes a Q Series bass trombone case, a mouthpiece, and a care kit, along with three interchangeable yellow brass leadpipes.
