[Features]
Shires continues to release ambitious models, steadily increasing its presence year after year. Among these, the Q Series is highly regarded as the "ultimate in cost performance."
This series employs an exceptionally luxurious two-stage production system: Shires designs the key components, outsources part of the manufacturing to Eastman in Maryland, USA, and then Shires technicians meticulously finish each completed instrument before shipping.
While "affordable series" might suggest entry-level instruments, the Q Series is entirely different. It makes no compromises on playing performance or tonal character, adhering strictly to the philosophy of "cutting costs only on elements unnecessary for performance." Consequently, neither the playing feel nor the tone carries any trace of the so-called "" often associated with price-focused models.
This Q19G (Gold Brass Bell specification) model, within the same design, emphasizes greater midrange density and sonic weight. When you apply breath, the midrange gains thickness, and the sound image becomes much more cohesive.
The tone is warm, deep, and rich with resonance. It's not flashy or forward; rather, it envelops and fills the space. Its true value becomes even clearer in solo ballads or section harmonies.
Even among Q19s, the tonal center of gravity is distinctly different. If you seek greater composure and depth, the Q19G will satisfy.
It also offers high pitch stability, making it a reassuring choice even for those who hold the preconception that "flugelhorns are difficult." It's not only an excellent first flugelhorn but also delivers quality that will fully satisfy veteran players.
