Quite a few British F tubas had recording bells. Was part of the standard equipment for orchestra recording before the days of electronic microphones.
If I could have kept and played that Boosey F I had, I was going to try and get a recording bell for it. The last British F played professionally was Stuart Roebuck of the Halle Orchestra in the 1980's.
Are there any recording bell F tubas?
