Upright bell for Besson New Standard euph?

[TheHatTuba]

Did Besson make upright bells for their recording bell euphs?

Never saw that documented.

Wouldn't there be several bells available from worn or otherwise damaged euphs?

I have no memory of seeing such an animal. Are you looking for an upright detachable bell?

Not really. if they existed from the factory and someone had one available, maybe; but honestly, the horn probably isn't worth getting a custom upright bell made (raw brass, dinged, 4 valve comp.).

You could use the collar from the front facing bell for a cut donor upright bell, or you could mount a one-piece upright bell.

The leadpipe may be set a bit lower on your euph than on a model coming with an original one-piece upright bell. Without photos it is hard to tell whether a new leadpipe would raise the pitch by being shorter than your current leadpipe.
