These are Bach Profiles: 7,65,25,38
Martin: ComBell Profile
Olds: Standard Olds Bell Profile and the Opera Profile
Old Selmer Large Bores with large throat bells
True conical bore cornet and bugle bells before the trumpet-fication of all tings cornet happened. Luckily in the USA Kanstul has some really old school cornet and bugle bell profiles still luckily for us!
Conn Non-Besson like bell profiles especially the smaller bores and the giant .485 bore profiles.
A flugel that is shaped more like a trumpet would be nice in terms of it's wrap.
A clone of the York Airflow would be nice but I am not going to hold my breath on that. We cannot even get non Besson horns from most OEM or more then 1-2 Bach clones not of the 37 or 43 bell from most so not likely! Conn does not even make the best of the Old Conn bell profiles or leadpipe profiles.
Huttl and Amati long ago had some cool profiles and so did Vega .........
Add any odd or cool bell profiles you would like to see....
I am editing to add Keifer I love those horns but I always get out bid on them. _________________ The only easy day was yesterday! |
