Anyone have an old upright bell for sale?
Preferably a King, H.N. White vintage.
Maybe off of an old helicon or something?
Dan Schultz has introduced the idea of trying to fabricate an upright bell for my
King Rotary Valve Orchestral (Pit)/Recording Model tuba, and so we're looking for a suitable bell.
Apparently, a "new" King bell fits this tuba just fine, but produces a great sounding BB tuba instead of the desired BBb tuba. This information was gleaned from a previous post.
