Hello,
an other shot in the dark: if somebody has a Minick basstrombone bell willing to sell, I would be interested. Thanks in advance!

Minick used a lot of Elkhart 60 h bass trombone bells not marked... If you found a good 60h or 62h are the same... Doug Purviance had a Minick yellow bell hand made by Larry himself... For otherslike that.. Good luck... All the best

I know Minick used a lot of conn parts but the bells he made himself (including the Berylium bell I played for about 5 years and sold a year ago) were significantly different than a conn bell to me.
The one I had seemed a bit more open in the throat than a bach 50 flare, and heavier than conn as well.

That was a great bell! It was definitely heavier.
