The Joseph Alessi Q Series Series Alto Trombone has been crafted with Mr. Alessi to offer an exceptional instrument at an affordable price. Similarly to his other Artist models, this instrument features a revolutionary combination of materials and construction to produce the perfect balance of color, efficiency, and resonance.

The Q35 Alto trombone features a two-piece yellow brass bell with bell tuning and a lightweight dual-bore yellow brass handslide in .485-.495 bore to produce a rich, clear sound with complex overtones and a wide palette of colors at all dynamic levels. The Q35 is an excellent choice for musicians searching for a nimble and light quality instrument suitable for solo works and small ensemble performances.

The Q33 is a versatile instrument, ideally suited for jazz and commercial environments, as well as for lighter classical music. This .508 bore trombone is also compatible with the rest of the S.E. Shires Custom Series line.
