ttf_bubbachet · Post by **ttf_bubbachet** » Mon Sep 18, 2017 12:09 pm

All,

Selling my 2015 Bernd Sandner bell. It's raw rose brass with a nickel kranz. Cross-brazed construction, much like the vintage (think 1910-1920) 8Hs. It's really gorgeous.

Includes Greenhoe flanges and 88H tuning slide receiver.

$650 shipped lower 48. Will ship internationally at buyer's expense. Buyer pays PayPal fees.

It's a really unique bell with a wonderful, warm sound and is very flexible but holds up well at volume.

I didn't know Bernie Sanders played trombone.

Is it vintage or was it made in 2015? I couldnt see the engraving in the photos, so the post is kinda misleading.

Made in 2015 and is a copy of 1910-1920s 8H bell.

Are you selling a complete 88H compatible f-attachment bell section, i.e. everything but the slide?

I've only seen a few 8Hs from that era; they were both 8 inch yellow bells. Yours is obviously not yellow, but is it an 8 inch bell? Thanks!

I would have bought it by now if that were the case!

Nice price. Too bad it's not rigged to fit a Shires.

No intent to mislead, sorry that wasn't clear to you.

It's an 8.5" bell.

This bell is now out on a trial period.

The bell is cross-brazed, just like the 1920s Conn bells and the current BrassArk large bore trombone.

No, bell only.
