SHIRES Q33 – Lightweight and Precise for Jazz and Chamber Music

The SHIRES Q33 is a small bore (.508") tenor trombone, designed for musicians who value responsiveness, clarity, and precision. As part of the SHIRES Q Series, this lightweight professional trombone stands out in jazz, commercial, and light classical settings.

The 8-inch yellow brass bell, built from two hand-hammered pieces with a soldered rim, offers a bright, focused sound with excellent projection and warmth in the midrange. The traditional floral engraving and refined finish reflect the instrument's high-quality craftsmanship.

The lightweight nickel slide features a wide nickel-silver crook, providing fast response, smooth glissando, and crisp articulation. It’s particularly comfortable for fast passages and provides solid support in the upper register.

The SHIRES Q33 trombone is well balanced, thanks to its built-in counterweight, and includes a QSY tuning slide in yellow brass. The instrument comes with a Q Series hard case, SHIRES mouthpiece, and a complete maintenance kit.

In terms of sound, this jazz trombone by SHIRES offers a remarkable blend of brilliance, flexibility, and tonal accuracy. It is an excellent choice for professionals needing a lightweight and agile horn, as well as for advanced students seeking a simple yet efficient instrument.
