What year or period is the tempo from? And what is its condition? Would like to see photos

How would you compare the MV42 to a standard Shires leadpipe? Is it tighter or more open than, say, a #2? Thanks.

I haven't played tenor in a while, but I would say it was more open than the #1 lead pipe that I used. It was certainly more focused than the no. 3, but I'm not sure I ever did a comparison with the no. 2. The sound was really colorful, and I really liked the articulation when I played on it.

It felt tighter than a Shires #2 - probably closer to a 1.5, but it plays and sounds different to Shires pipes.
I have only tried the drawn yellow MV42. I do have a BrassArk Elk8H in seamed copper - the seamed copper definitely adds an interesting sound blossom and some extra character. It's pretty cool!
