We still have a few 22" King upright tuba bells available. They fit the 234X and 124X model horns which are about all of the detachable bell King tubas except the monster rotary horns. All have had the dents removed and a couple have most of the original lacquer intact. They look pretty good and are clean, solid and servicable. We also have an exceptionally nice 19" one that is in near perfect condition. PM or email me for details on price. Here's an example of what they look like:

Still a couple of them are left. Get 'em while they last! One 19" and two 22".

There are still a couple of the upright bells left. We also have a few nice recording bells available for the 234x and 124x models.

It's lacquer.

What's the outside diameter of the tenon on the 19 inch bell -- the lacquer one? It's been so long since I've played a King I don't remember.

I had mine silver plated at Kanstul for $200 about a year ago... Prices vary but talk to Zig and go from there.

Bell tenon? (male part that attaches removable bell to horn body): 6 & 3/16" ID, 6 & 5/16"OD, by my eye and ruler...went through all this when I was looking for an upright bell. I bought mine from Sam and am very happy with it. Snap his up while you can.

What I thought, thanks for confirming.

Yes, as a male brass player, I always wanted to date a female reed player....
