Since I found my Olds Opera Bell on this site by asking if anyone had one thought I would ask.
I am in particular looking for a Lenoard Smith Contempra Bell. I like the profile and think it has potential.
I have Reynolds Bronze-O-Lyte/Lube Alloy C bell that I like a lot.
I am also looking for a nice used Bach 65 bell on the cheap not a new one because Bach wants far too much for their bells new. Kanstul does not make anything like the 65 bell so that is out of the question. I tried Dillion but all they had was a new one. I would imagine their is one collecting dust in someone's shop as no one in the USA wants them. So I am guessing that when one comes in the bell get's yanked and a 37 bell put on in it's place. Appreciate any leads as I have hit bottom no one I know has one and they do not want one either! IN fact they think I am nuts for wanting to play around with one!LOL _________________ The only easy day was yesterday! |

Cap'n,
Try looking for a Huttl trumpet. I've seen some pictures showing fairly extreme bell profiles. _________________ J. Notso Nieuwguyski |

You know I almost bid on one of those on ebay but due to the age I was afraid it would be a very small bore and the guy selling it did not have the means to measure it!
That is strange that you point that out because I did consider getting one at least 3 times in the last year to play around with no one though seems to know the bore and most ebayer's that sell instruments are not musicians!
I have even considered the idea of starting with a 239 bell profile and extending it to Bb length. I do not want it so slow that I end up with a Stomvi Pic bell that looks like a flat disc with a tube in the middle....LOL _________________ The only easy day was yesterday! |
