The Q33 Small Bore trombone is a versatile instrument, ideally suited for jazz and commercial environments, as well as for lighter classical music. The 8-inch, two-piece, yellow brass bell with soldered bead gives the Q33 a crisp, clean sound with the power and projection for which S.E. Shires instruments are famed.
