If you own a King 1241/2341...

Post by TheHatTuba »

... could you please take a measurement? What is the diameter of the bell directly above the ferrule that connects the bell and bottom bow? Should be near 4.75"-5"...

Here's the 'poop'

King detachable upright bell and stack
19 or 22" flare
31" overall length
14 3/4 circumference small end (4.69" diameter)

Hint... the easiest way to measure the stem of a bell is with a cloth tape measure and divide by 3.1416.
