Yup. This topic will produce some 'interesting' reading.

Does anyone know if a PT-6 or wiseman bell fit on a later model York Master? How about a Kanstul grand Bell?

Detachable bell? If so... does the York Master have a tapered bell tenon set?

Worthy of its own thread. So many mashed bells out there! :D
Yeah... if you run across something that's reasonable I'd like to know. IF that bell is the same as the Marzan 5/4 bells... it will also fit the German Nirschle tubas and other large tubas made in the Bohm & Meinl factory during the 60-80's. Those who should know have said the tooling was destroyed.

I would always stop at the metal scrap place in the neighboring town.

I have trumpet mouthpipes today (that I use as replacements on inexpensive student instruments, sometimes: altering their bores to specs) left over from those days...

...and (well...) there are several Bach Stradivarius trumpets floating around out there with serial numbers than cannot be found on shop cards. :roll:
