I am selling a like new, Shires 8.5" TII 5YVNY bell. Shires calls it their Vintage New York bell. This is what the website says about the bell: "TII 5YVNY: (One piece, soldered bead) yellow brass Vintage New York. Inspired by classic Mt. Vernon, NY model bells."
The bell has no acid bleed, dents or scratches anywhere. It plays beautifully, and in my opinion combines the classic Bach 42 sound with the Shires response and playability. So, the age old question, if it plays so great then why am I selling it? I have a M&W 322 on order and can't see this bell getting much use in the future. I am asking $850 plus CONUS shipping. If you are looking for a new bell at a used price, this is it. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking.. Additional pics are available..
