Shires 2Y bell
Gold brass Tuning Slide
Shires Tru-bore valve
TB47 handslide w/ nickel outersleeves and crook
Edwards Sterling T2 Leadpipe.

I started with some standard brass Shires pipes, but needed something  
longer and sterling.  I already had a sterling Edwards T2 and was  
facing a long wait for a sterling Shires pipe (that is no longer the  
case), so I had my Edwards pipe fitted to a Shires leadpipe ring.   
BooYaa!!
