Hi everyone, before throwing this question at Edwards I figured I’d ask it on this forum to see if anyone had an answer.

I’m just looking for what the bell model would be for a 21 gauge, 9.5”, unsoldered, yellow brass, tempered, CF-treated bass bell. Kind of specific but essentially it would just be the 21 gauge equivalent of the 1023CF (20 gauge), 1215CF (22 gauge), and 1311CF (23 gauge) bells but in 21 gauge. All three of those bells are listed on their website as popular bell options and I’m just wondering what the 21 gauge version of those options is. I’m certainly not in the financial situation to buy a new bell right now, but I’d like to have all of my options lined out for when I am down the road.

Thanks for the help!

You might be able to figure it out by looking at the popular bell chart on the website. If they have the red or gold version of what you're looking for, I think the system works with the red brass bell being the first in order, followed by gold, and then yellow. For instance, of the bells you listed, I think that the red bell would be 1021, the gold would be 1022, and then the yellow would be the 1023 you mentioned. Use the same pattern for the others. If there is a red or gold bell with all of the other features you wanted listed on the site, you can use the same pattern to figure out what the number is for the yellow version. There aren't enough bells listed on the site for me to be able to figure out how other features like soldered/unsoldered, etc. fit in the pattern.

Close... I would think it would be a 1119CF. 21 Ga, 9.5", Unsoldered Rim, Tempered, Yellow Brass.

Happens to be the bell that I chose back in '99. Loved it, but I just couldn't ever quite figure out the feedback from the unsoldered rim to my ear. Sounded great on recordings.

And yes, the list is a full factorial DOE in standard order... if you know all the factors.

Cheers,
