What would Happen?

Post by brendanige »

What do you think would happen if you put a larger bell on a pre perantucci PT-10?
What bell would you use and why?
Just curious. Probably not gonna do anything.

Well, when Besson first did this on their Sovereigns, going from a 17 inch bell to a 19 inch bell on the BBb, and from a 15 inch bell to either a 17 inch bell or 19 inch bell on the Eb's, the tubas had all sorts of intonation problems until the bugle was reengineered.
