Edwards SS .562 #2 leadpipe vs. Shires SS B2 leadpipe

Post by Crazy4Tbone86 »

Hi Everyone! Currently, my bass leadpipe is a Sterling Silver Edwards #2 for both my Edwards bass (dual bore) and my Greenhoe TIS bass. The pipe works quite well on both horns. On tenor, I had much success with some of the Shire pipes. I am wondering if I should try a Shires B2 in Sterling Silver. Has anyone compared the two?

Threading on the collar is no problem. I can always make my own collar.

Lemme ask around my studio and get back to you, we have a guy who plays a Shires SS2 and one has an Edwards SS, I’ll ask them if they notice anything different when horn swapping
