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.

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.
