Hi Folks.  This kit is available for viewing at:

Partch Brasswind Services

Below is what is included.  I forgot to take any pictures before dropping it off at Ron's place, but he agrees the descriptions are accurate.

Bells:
7YLW - Yellow brass w/soldered bead.  Very good condition, no dents, only a single scratch - not deep but 3" long on side of bell flare toward slide - and very few tiny blemishes, a small amount of acid bleed at the bead.  8/10 or better.
2REV - Red brass w/unsoldered bead.  Near new. 2 or 3 tiny blemishes and no dents. 9+/10

Valve Sections:
Rotary Valve - Excellent condition 8.5+/10
Straight Neckpipe - Near new condition 9+/10

Tuning slide:
X Model - Near new condition.  No dents.  A few near-microscopic abrasions.  9+/10

Handslide:
TW47 - Yellow brass outers with wide nickelsilver crook. Good condition.  One tiny dent was repaired by Ron Parch.  Some cosmetic blemishes in lacquer minor scratches and dings.  Some acid bleed at crook.  Moderate lacquer wear and pitting in hand contact areas. Cosmetically 7/10.  No wear through on inners.  Ron Parch has worked his magic on this slide so action is beyond reproach (9+/10).

Leadpipes:
1.5L 
2
3
3S

All lead pipes are in excellent condition with no dents or corrosion.  The #2 has plating wear on the knurl

Other:
Balance weight for use with the straight neckpipe - not shires
Brand new spare valve linkage (never mounted)
Eastman by Shires case - top handle has been repaired.
Protec PBone gig bag for storage of 2nd bell/neckpipe/leadpipes.


Asking price for all of the above is $5000 Canadian (about $4000 US).  It's a pretty amazing kit and allows you to create pretty much the large bore sound and horn you want for whatever engagement you have.

Hi

Are you willing to sell only individual parts?

Thanks!

It may be at some point.  It is being offered as a full kit tight now.  Gord Wolfe (principle trombone TSO) wants to have a look at it for one of his students, and the faculty of music at the University of Toronto has been told about it as well as some others.  All have been made aware of the full kit so we'll keep it this way at least until they have had the opportunity to look into it.

Be aware though, that shipping from Canada to the US is about 15%-20% higher than shipping from the US to Canada.

I'd be interested in the straight neck pipe and the counterweight. I go to UofT, and would pick it up from Ron. Just send me an email if you decide to part out.

I'll be seeing Ron next Tuesday and I'll get back to those that have posted here an emailed me after that.
