Condition & Setup

This S.E. Shires Q36GA is a pre-owned instrument with very little use. A dent was removed the bell which has let a very faint cosmetic scar. It has been professionally serviced, set up, and play-tested in our shop to confirm proper mechanical function, slide action, valve response, and playing condition.

Who the Q36GA Q-Series Bass Trombone Is For

The S.E. Shires Q36GA is an independent-valve professional bass trombone designed for advanced students, collegiate players, freelancers, and professional trombonists who need a versatile instrument with a warm gold brass sound and an open valve register. It is suitable for players who require the depth and breadth of a modern bass trombone while retaining clarity, color, and projection across registers.

Within the Q-Series bass trombone lineup, the Q36GA is distinguished by its gold brass QII taper bell, .562-inch standard-weight slide, and independent axial flow valve system. The result is a bass trombone with a full low register, clear front of note, and flexible alternate-position options for technically demanding repertoire.

Common Questions About the S.E. Shires Q36GA

Is the S.E. Shires Q36GA suitable for professional bass trombone work?

Yes. The Q36GA is built with professional bass trombone specifications, including a .562-inch bore, 9 1/2-inch hand-hammered bell, and independent axial flow valves. It is appropriate for serious orchestral, wind ensemble, brass ensemble, and freelance use.

What does the gold brass bell contribute to the sound?

The gold brass bell gives the Q36GA a warm, broad tonal profile with a singing core, while the hand-hammered QII taper and soldered bead help maintain projection and clarity. This makes it useful for players who want depth without losing definition.

Why choose independent axial flow valves on a bass trombone?

Independent axial flow valves allow the player to use each valve separately or together, expanding alternate slide-position options. The axial design also supports an open, even valve register with reduced resistance compared with many traditional valve designs.

Looks great!!

The cart looks really nice with the glass. It took some time to assemble. Nothing too difficult, just took time to screw everything in. All pieces arrived and the glass was packaged well so it wouldn’t break. Perfect size and a great price for the product. Highly recommend!

Love it!!

Tips for assemble at the end! I have to say, for as affordable as this piece is it sure is beautiful, easy to assemble, and functional. I am really happy with my purchase. I bought this as a surprise for my husband. He has a massive bourbon & whiskey collection that overtakes his entire bar, and this along with a new liquor cabinet was just what he needed to disperse some of his collection aesthetically. Be careful upon assembly, paint can chip if you screw the hardware in too tight. Also, when you go to put the suction cups in for the glass make sure you counter the weight from underneath the little flap with your free hand as you’re putting it on bc if you don’t, you’ll push so hard that the piece you’re pushing the suction cup into to get it to pop on properly will bend and break. I pushed a little hard on a couple of mine, but they bent back into place. Just assemble with a light hand.
