This is a Shires Q30YR bell section, pre-owned and in very good condition, with no dents, dings, or structural repairs. The bell has minor lacquer wear around the rim and light acid bleed, a common cosmetic trait from the original manufacturing process. These small aesthetic imperfections do not affect playability and overall, the bell looks clean and well-preserved.
Q Series bells are generally not sold separately by the manufacturer or through most dealers, which makes this offering ideal for players who need to replace a damaged bell without having to buy an entirely new horn. Whether you're a professional trombonist, advancing student, or someone assembling a custom build, this bell provides an excellent value for a quality modular component.
Have you ever wondered what your options are when a bell section is damaged or dropped? Can you buy just a bell for a Shires Q30 trombone? The short answer is — rarely. That’s what makes this bell a smart find.
This bell is also a great fit for repair technicians, brass instrument specialists, or school music programs who service modular trombones. Whether you need a functional donor bell for evaluation or are looking for an economical solution to replace a student’s damaged section, this Q30YR fills a unique gap in the market. It maintains compatibility with Q Series components and is ready to install and play.
New Shires Custom bells retail for $1400–$1500, and Q Series parts like this are not normally offered à la carte. Don’t miss this opportunity to pick up a genuine Shires bell section at a fraction of the cost.
