Model TBQAlessi-Joseph Alessi Q Series Artist Model Tenor Trombone with Rotary Valve F Attachment  In-stock.   The Brass Exchange Takes Trade-in's full or partial for new Shires Trombones, please call or email with your trade-in.
The Joseph Alessi Q Series Artist Model Tenor Trombone has been crafted with Mr. Alessi to offer an exceptional instrument at an affordable price.  Similarly to the Custom Series model, this instrument features a revolutionary combination of materials and construction to produce the perfect balance of color, efficiency, and resonance. The QAlessi bell features an unsoldered, two-piece, light-weight yellow-brass bell which allows this instrument to easily project while maintaining a broad and warm sound.  The newly designed Alessi Q Series rotary valve features a gold brass F-attachment slide to create depth and density of sound coupled with the clarity and stability of a rotary valve.  A gold brass tuning slide similarly adds complexity and warmth to the sound of this instrument.  The QAlessi handslide features a combination of different alloys to achieve a perfect balance of consistency and clarity as well as timbrel flexibility.  The Joseph Alessi Q Series Tenor Trombone offers the ultimate versatility for any musician looking to be a cut above the rest.
