Its independent valve layout provides the low-register flexibility expected of a modern bass trombone, while the gold brass bell concept suits players who favor a rounded, complex tonal profile. Players comparing this model with the axial-flow Q36GA should base the choice on their preferred valve feel and airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Questions About the S.E.

This gives the player flexible routing for orchestral bass trombone parts and other demanding low-register work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does a gold brass bell affect the playing concept?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eGold brass is commonly chosen for a rounder and more complex tonal color than yellow brass.
