Shires Q30YR with custom TW25 slide TGX Gold Tuning Pre-owned. When the Q series tenors were first introduced a number of years ago, the company highlighted the fact that the Q series components are compatible with the custom series Shires components made at the Boston factory. This horn is an excellent example that in fact Shires horns are truly compatible between the custom line and Q series line. This one has a custom TW25 (wide .525 straight bore slide) standard weight with nickel end crook. Includes two removable leadpipes. One of the leadpipes is for small shank mouthpiece and the other one is for large shank. Has 8.5" yellow brass Q30 bell with floral engraving. Standard Q series rotor and custom series TGX gold brass tuning slide. This horn was originally set up by a pro orchestra player, and wonderful friend of The Brass Exchange, who passed away a few months ago. He new what he was doing and loved his instruments. We did full shop service here indluding chemical bath and once over. Has a fantastic slide, perfect valve action, no dent's or dings and plays exceptional. Would be an excellent choice for any player looking for something slightly smaller than a full Shires symphonic .547 Bore tenor, including any Shires player looking to mix and match with their current equipment. Includes case and 2 leadpipes. The current 2025 price for a standard Q30YR is currently $3495, but those models don't have the TGX tuning slide or the TW25 Custom Series Handslide. This horn will not disappoint.
