For Sale: Shires #1 leadpipe w/C Alloy.
I purchased a tenor a few years ago that came with this pipe. the #1 taper is a bit too small for me, so time to pass it along to someone else.
When I asked Steve Shires about this leadpipe (specifically what the C indicated), his response was: The C is sort of a random letter we chose to represent a new alloy of brass we tried. It has a little more to and copper than our standard yellow pipes. Adds a bit of color to the sound.
