Shires Q33 Series Small Bore Straight Jazz Trombone is a fantastic option for a wide range of trombone players, offering versatility, ease of playability, and a rich, balanced sound. Here's a quick overview of its key features and why it's a great choice:
The bell is 8" Yellow Brass with a soldered rim, which helps produce a focused yet warm sound with great resonance. The .508 lightweight nickel handslide is responsive and smooth, perfect for quick playing, especially in jazz and commercial settings. The removable leadpipe allows for easy customization, letting players find the best feel and tone. It comes with an 11C mouthpiece, a good general-purpose size that's suitable for various styles. The included tenor case with built-in backpack straps provides both protection and portability for on-the-go musicians.
The horn’s design allows for excellent pitch and handslide placement, particularly in the upper register, making it easy to hit those higher notes with accuracy. It offers flexible timbre, allowing players to adapt their sound from bright to mellow tones depending on the musical context. The overall balance in timbre makes it particularly well-suited for jazz and commercial playing where tonal flexibility and expressiveness are key.
The Shires Q33 is similar in size and feel to the classic King 3B, known for its great blend of warmth and projection, so if you're familiar with that model, you’ll feel right at home with the Q33.
This model is ideal for professional players seeking a reliable, flexible instrument for jazz or commercial music, students or intermediate players looking to upgrade to a higher-quality horn without going too far into a more complex professional model, and jazz musicians looking for a horn with great feel, excellent upper register response, and the ability to deliver various tonal qualities.
