Googled "Arigra"

According to Eric, ARIGRA was a trade name use by Anton Riedl and is an acronym for "A. Riedl Graslitz". Anton specialized in valves and bells starting in 1885 and was joined by his son in 1931. I believe Graslitz is the city in Czechoslovakia where he built these unique horns.

Wow ... i like that one a lot better. Someone took the effort of putting a trigger on it so it must play at least ok I would think. Has anyone ever tried one?

It seems like the sound would have no ring to it. When I flick the end of one of my Bach 37 bells I hear a healthy ring to it .... cause they are perfectly round ( I think). What kind of ring would you get from an octagon?
