Hello all. I'm going through an instrument transition right now, and would be interested in trying out an Alexander nickel silver bell, or perhaps a Lawson bell of some sort.
I'm trying to produce a bit more sound on my Alexander 107 gold brass descant with F extension. The 107 is rapidly becoming my main horn, replacing my Alex 200 double. I simply get more notes right, and don't have to work so hard. The 107's tone also blends into my section better than the 200's. I'm so close to to the sound that I want, since my recent mouthpiece change, that I feel a different bell, rather than a different horn, or yet another mouthpiece, might be just the thing. Purchasing another instrument is, however, still an option, but a bell would be cheaper. Ha Ha. There were no bells for trial at the recent Southeastern Horn Convention. Does anyone out there have a bell with Alexander threads for sale or for trial? The ones currently on hornplayer.net are a bit rich for my blood. Thanks, and sorry for the cross posting.
