S.E. Shires Q Series STBQ38 Contra Bass Trombone

The S.E. Shires Q Series STBQ38 Contra Bass Trombone delivers professional-grade performance with versatile tuning options. Pitched in F/D/Bb/Ab with European tuning, it accommodates a wide range of musical styles and ensemble requirements. The .590" bore provides a focused, articulate tone while maintaining projection across the instrument's extended range. Rotax rotary valves ensure smooth, responsive valve action and reliable intonation across all four keys. The 10.5" two-piece yellow brass detachable-flare bell with soldered bead produces a warm, resonant sound with excellent harmonic clarity. The detachable design simplifies maintenance and transport, while the soldered bead reinforces bell integrity and tonal response. Available with a gold brass detachable-flare bell (model STBQ38GR) for players seeking a brighter, more brilliant tonal character.
