Bell measurement needed

I'm looking for the bell length on the Holton 340 or 345......if anyone out there has access to one, could you take a measurement off it for me?

The measurement I need (starting at the point where the bell exits the ferrule to the end of the bell), like so:

Many thanks in advance!

Sounds about right bloke, thanks (I suspected you'd come through.....)

The York 91 I measured has a 27" long bell, so you're definitely in the ballpark.

The Simonetti website lists the horn (his example, anyway) as having an overall height of 37 3/4".

Awesome guys, thanks for the information.

I know that those horns were made in small batches by varying individuals, most likely by hand, so it makes sense that lengths would vary some....

No sir, not a rabbit hole, at least for me.

I have to honestly say that my experiences have been quite different than what you usually describe.
