This bell has a ordinary appearance on the outside, and an intricate black and white scrollwork pattern on the inside of the bell flare.
A Conn 14D is the donor for this yellow brass bell. It has been delacquered, cleaned, fitted with an Alexander ring, and then painted with the scrollwork.
The bell with Alexander ring weighed 394g before painting. It weights 407g after the paint application.
bell height: 5-3/16 inches
bell throat inner diameter: 2-27/32 inches
bell rim diameter: 12-1/4 inches
Note: This bell is a prototype and there are some imperfections in the scrollwork, which can be seen in the pictures. I am also in the process of assessing the durability of the paintwork. Please contact me if you would like to speak with me about more details of this bell. I am constantly trying new customization techniques for bells to create visually interesting and appealing bells that have good playing characteristics.
