Looking to sell my Shires small bore. Specs are:

Leadpipe 2.5N

Slide: T08LW

Bell Section: S1YM8 (Small bore, 2 piece bell, yellow brass, medium weight, 8")

I'll post pictures later today after I take them. The tuning slide is silver plated yellow brass. Most of the horn is raw brass, but there is some lacquer left on it (inside the bell for example); not the prettiest horn but it plays quit well! Recently had a chem clean and a slide alignment done.

Willing to trade for a Shires bass valve section as well.

EDIT: Asking ca. $1875, incl. shipping CONUS

Forgot to mention the slide has a Saturn water key on it.

Been a busy weekend! Accepting offers at this point. Taking a few pictures when I get home later today. Not picky about valce section as long as it's two rotors.

I had some requests for particular spots on the horn, which I've updated.

Also should note that I applied clear, acrylic lacquer (fingernail polish) to the neckpipe area so I wouldn't get discolored shirt necks!

Finally sat down and had some time to think about asking price. Looking for $1875 (includes shipping CONUS though).
