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.

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large, Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large
High quality, big toy, perfect for a medium to large size dog. After a few months of serious chewing I had to buy another one, but well worth the money! Rocky loves it.

Great toy but if your dog is an aggressive chewer, please think twice.
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I received this on May 23rd and on June 8th, after playing with this thing every day, our recently acquired 36 lb dog finally ripped it open and got out all the plastic and the squeaky part. Lily Belle will miss you, chicken. Lily loooooved this toy! She'd toss it in the air, chew on it, pull it with her teeth etc. but as much as she loved it, we won't replace it. It's just not durable enough for her. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, you might want to try a different toy. I hate that this lasted just a smidge over two weeks because Lily seemed to truly enjoy this toy. RIP, squeaky chicken!

Great Value Toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Blue), Size: Large, Color: Crinkle Duck (Blue), Size: Large
This toy has been one of my dog’s absolute favorites. He gets excited every time he sees it and will carry it around the house, toss it in the air, and keep himself entertained for a long time. The shape and texture seem perfect for him, and it quickly became one of his go-to toys over everything else in his basket. What I really like is that it holds up reasonably well for the price. It’s definitely not indestructible, and after a lot of play, it will sometimes start to rip—usually around the feet first since that’s where my dog tends to grab and chew the most. But honestly, considering how affordable it is, I don’t mind replacing it when needed. It’s inexpensive enough that rebuying feels worth it because he genuinely loves it that much. I’d rather keep buying a toy he is obsessed with than spend more on something that just sits untouched. It’s fun, cute, and keeps him happy, which is what matters most. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it for dogs who love plush toys and playful chewing.

Best affordable squeaker toy
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large, Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
my dog is obsessed with this toy, this has became his new comfort toy and after having this for about four months the legs are falling off but it’s very durable. The squeaker also moved from the head of the chicken to the body of the chicken but that’s after it was played with every single day. I love that it has two squeakers and it’s the perfect toy for my dog.

My dogs favorite toy EVER
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I have a Belgian Malinois who loves any and every toy, but this one is definitely her favorite. She will walk around the house constantly carrying it in her mouth, which is honestly adorable to watch. The squeakers only lasted a couple of months, but I don’t really consider that a downside—I’m kind of grateful they didn’t last forever given how much she plays with it. It still remains one of her most-loved toys even without them. My only word of caution is that if you work from home, this toy makes a lot of crinkling noise. And I mean A LOT. It’s great for keeping the dog entertained, but it can definitely get a little frustrating for humans trying to focus or take calls. Overall, it’s been a big hit in our house and easily one of her favorite toys.
