FS: Shires Bell and Slide $400 Each!!
Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2017 6:09 pm
Hello Trombonists,
I'm selling a Shires 1YM Bell made 7+ Years before the Shires Buyout. Bell is in good condition, a few minor dents from mute insertion, and one larger dent from a mouthpiece drop. None of the dents affect the sound. As listed in the subject, I'm looking to get $400 for it, but I am up to negotiations within reason. This was my main bell when I played on my shires. I recently switched to edwards and sold a full shires horn and am now looking to sell the remaining parts.
Slide is a T47GLW. This means it is a Conn slide width as opposed to the standard Bach Width. (It is still a standard .547 sized large bore slide however). Also the slide has a gold brass exterior, is Light Weight and the standard nickel crook. This slide has a good amount of lacquer wear but the action on it is as good as the day it was made. There are no dents on the slide. also the original spit valve has been swapped out for a amado (button) style. This slide may not be pretty but it plays great and trombonists aren't likely to find any slides with its specs. Listed also for $400 and reasonable offers will be considered.
Shipping is included in the price for CONUS
