These instruments represent the philosophy of Eastman to produce the finest musical instruments at every price point and embody the reputation of 
Shires: to produce the highest quality hand crafted instruments for every player.
“We understand not every musician may be ready for a Shires custom instrument or may find those costs prohibitive,” says S.E. Shires founder Stephen Shires, “so the development of the Q Series with Eastman allows the best aspects of our custom instruments to be at a very affordable price; certainly worthy of the Shires name.”
S.E. Shires introduced the following Q Series Trumpets and Tenor and Bass Trombones:
• Bb Trumpets – TRQ10S
• Large-Bore Tenor Trombones – TBQ30YR, TBQ30GR, TBQ30YA, TBQ30GA
• F/Gb Rotary Valve Bass Trombone – TBQ36YR and TBQ36GR
Keith Hilson, Trombone Shop and Store Manager of Schmitt Music in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, has this to say about the Q Series: “The excellent playability of these instruments along with the quality of construction, interchangeability with custom Shires components and very accessible price points result in a terrific value. The Q Series has already become a fast favorite of ours and our customers!”
The Q Series instruments are set for a Fall 2016 release and will be available at S.E. Shires Authorized Dealers.
