The S.E. Shires QAlessi is a professional Q-Series tenor trombone developed around Joseph Alessi's artist-model configuration. Its coordinated large-bore design combines a lightweight yellow-brass bell, gold-brass handslide and tuning slide, a dedicated rotary F valve, and interchangeable leadpipes.

Common Questions About the S.E. Shires QAlessi
What defines the QAlessi design?
The QAlessi combines a lightweight 8.5-inch yellow-brass bell with an unsoldered bead, a .547-inch gold-brass handslide, a gold-brass tuning slide, and a dedicated rotary F valve. These components form a coordinated artist-model configuration rather than a general-purpose component combination.
What do the interchangeable leadpipes change?
Interchangeable leadpipes allow a player to compare different balances of resistance, articulation, and response while retaining the same bell, valve, and handslide assembly. Two additional leadpipes are included with this instrument.
How does the QAlessi fit within the S.E. Shires lineup?
The QAlessi is the Q-Series interpretation of the Joseph Alessi artist concept. It provides a complete professional configuration for players who want Alessi-inspired design priorities in a coordinated Q-Series instrument.
