Condition & Setup

This S.E. Shires Q36GA is a pre-owned instrument with very little use. A dent was removed the bell which has let a very faint cosmetic scar. It has been professionally serviced, set up, and play-tested in our shop to confirm proper mechanical function, slide action, valve response, and playing condition.

Who the Q36GA Q-Series Bass Trombone Is For

The S.E. Shires Q36GA is an independent-valve professional bass trombone designed for advanced students, collegiate players, freelancers, and professional trombonists who need a versatile instrument with a warm gold brass sound and an open valve register. It is suitable for players who require the depth and breadth of a modern bass trombone while retaining clarity, color, and projection across registers.

Within the Q-Series bass trombone lineup, the Q36GA is distinguished by its gold brass QII taper bell, .562-inch standard-weight slide, and independent axial flow valve system. The result is a bass trombone with a full low register, clear front of note, and flexible alternate-position options for technically demanding repertoire.

Common Questions About the S.E. Shires Q36GA

Is the S.E. Shires Q36GA suitable for professional bass trombone work?

Yes. The Q36GA is built with professional bass trombone specifications, including a .562-inch bore, 9 1/2-inch hand-hammered bell, and independent axial flow valves. It is appropriate for serious orchestral, wind ensemble, brass ensemble, and freelance use.

What does the gold brass bell contribute to the sound?

The gold brass bell gives the Q36GA a warm, broad tonal profile with a singing core, while the hand-hammered QII taper and soldered bead help maintain projection and clarity. This makes it useful for players who want depth without losing definition.

Why choose independent axial flow valves on a bass trombone?

Independent axial flow valves allow the player to use each valve separately or together, expanding alternate slide-position options. The axial design also supports an open, even valve register with reduced resistance compared with many traditional valve designs.

Best lotion I can find
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
Lubriderm discontinued the perfect men’s 3-in-1 lotion and it’s no longer available. After trying multiple substitutions, I found this. Mind you, I have scent and skin issues and NORMALLY buy unscented. I was concerned that this would cause issues and quite the opposite happened. I’ve discovered it works BETTER than the previously mention “perfect product” and though it is scented, the scent is pleasurable and super quick to fade, not at all overpowering and truly quite enjoyable. A fresh boost without causing me ANY problems. I am so pleased with this Vaseline product that I’m actually better now about keeping my skin hydrated, and, find myself humming while dressing post shower and application (I apply at the conclusion of my shower while still in the shower. That’s new - I hadn’t noticed or thought about it until my spouse asked me “why the good mood in the mornings lately.” Subconscious I guess but it’s a great way to start long days feeling clean and confident, rather than just washed, rinsed and repeat.

Dermatologist recommended it!
Size: 1.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is my 11th order of this product. I originally started using it a few years ago when my dermatologist recommended it during a period of hormonal acne. I’ve been using it ever since. I have very sensitive skin that usually reacts to almost everything, either with redness or breakouts, but I can use this cream comfortably without any issues. It is very gentle, deeply hydrating, and has become a permanent part of my skincare routine. It is definitely worth the price. Even a small amount provides excellent hydration and it lasts a long time. I also love that it has a natural ingredients and is fragrance-free.

Game changer.
Size: 1.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I moved out to Arizona back in 2020 and shortly after that, I became a reptile. My skin would become flaky and peel and I tried several different types of facial creams and lotions with no luck. I went to a dermatologist who recommended CeraVe, and it did help my skin to an extent. It took care of the flakiness, but I would still see the dryness, especially when I looked in the mirror up close. I recently was on Google doing a search and came across this brand. I thought I’d give them a try and though I was skeptical, my skin has not looked this good in years. My skin feels smooth, hydrated and NO greasiness. I highly recommend this product.
