Alessi wanted a trombone that sounds professional yet still feels affordable – the result is an instrument with its own components not found on any other Q trombone. The mix of yellow brass and gold brass balances colour, efficiency and resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8.5-inch bell is two-piece, made from lightweight yellow brass with unsoldered rim wire and a special annealing treatment – it responds easily, sounds open and projects. The standard-weight slide with .547\" bore (13.89 mm) is made of gold brass, the wide slide crook of yellow brass. On top comes the specially developed Alessi Q rotary valve with gold brass F attachment tubing in open wrap and an engraved valve cap: the low register stays free and tonally consistent. With three interchangeable leadpipes you can adapt response and resistance to your playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eS.E. Shires has been building trombones in Massachusetts for the world's great orchestras since the 1990s. The Q Series brings this expertise into a price range for ambitious amateurs, students and professionals: the same design principles, the same sound concept, built to Shires specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eKey of Bb\/F, tenor trombone with F attachment\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBore .547\" (13.89 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBell 8.5\" (216 mm), two-piece, lightweight yellow brass, unsoldered rim wire, special annealing treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAlessi Q rotary valve, open wrap, gold brass F attachment tubing, engraved valve cap\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eStandard-weight gold brass slide, wide yellow brass slide crook\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eGold brass tuning slide, drawn tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThree interchangeable yellow brass leadpipes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eEngraving “S.E.
