Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a few parts with specific qualities for a couple of projects I'm planning. No rush, but not a lot of budget either. They can be part of a complete instrument (trashed or not) or alone, in any reasonably repairable condition.
1. A trombone bell (or similar) with a tiny throat (think turn of the century peashooter, way smaller than any modern small bore) but as wide of a flare as possible (ideally something in the 8"-9" range). The idea is a bell flare similar in profile to a marching mellophone or mellophonium flare, but smaller in all dimensions so as to go on an instrument in higher pitch. Will hook up to a .470" valve set.
2. A short-stemmed trumpet/cornet bell with a rim diameter of at least 5" (e.g. Conn 14A/18A).
3. At least one working small to medium bore (anywhere from .480" to .512") trombone handslide with tuning in the slide.
Whatcha got?

I mostly play the slidey thing.
