I have a Yamaha F attachment I'm going to make into a valve section for my Shires bells, but I'm missing quite a few of the Shires parts that I'd need to make it all happen. Originally was thinking I'd just get a neckpipe at some point but evidently, they're not available anywhere! I'll probably call Shires up sometime in the next week to order parts if nobody has anything but figure I may as well check if anyone has these parts lying around first. Looking for:
I have a Bach 42 slide tenon that I picked up recently that I can trade for parts too. I was going to use it (and still might) but I think I'll have to have someone turn it down on a lathe by a small amount to get it to fit my needs exactly.
PS. I have about a zillion emails to get to from clients this week but I'm going to be having some uninterrupted, heads down time this weekend so I'll try to get to everyone asap. Thanks for patience if you're dealing with me this week
- Tuning Slide Receiver, valve side (w/ or w/o brazed bell brace receiver)
- Slide Receiver w/ or w/o locking ring nut & brazed bell brace receiver -- Also open to alternatives; Edwards would be fine too 100% (I currently use an Edwards slide receiver). Ideally, this would be for a rotor but open to other options as well.
- Threaded bell brace connectors (2)
- Cork barrel (lower) for 547
- Cork barrel (lower) for 525
- Large bore slide tenon (the threaded part that is soldered to the cork barrel and connects the slide to the bell section)
