FS: 2 Shires bass bells

[ttf_griffinben]

Selling two Shires bass bells that I haven’t been using.

1.) BI 2RGLW

Lightweight, 2-piece bell with unsoldered bell wire, a red brass stem and a gold brass flare. Great playing bell, as if a Conn 62H and Holton TR-185 have been combined into a colorful and flexible character. In very good condition with minor scratches and lacquer loss from use.

2.) BI 7YM 9

Medium weight, modified two-piece construction, soldered bead wire, yellow brass in 9 inches. Really, more of a 9.25” inch bell, this is a compact, bouncy, yet flexible bell. Character reminds my somewhat of a Bach 45; dense and bouncy, blends very well with medium bore and smaller tenor trombones. Also excellent for lighter classical (Hayden!). This was my workday bell for many years.

$650 each, shipped in the CONUS.
