Michael Rath Bass Trombone Bell w Edwards Fittings 9.5 Inch 750 NY Brass BELL ONLY.

Rath bells are known for responsiveness & focus. Excellent shape, unlacquered.

I asked Mick Rath about the specs. Here is his response:

"Made between 2000 and 2006 ..

750-with a flare gauge of 0.7mm and a spout gauge of 0.5mm.

NY-“New Yellow” as our bell maker then used to mark it: a yellow brass 80/ 20 copper /zinc(slightly more red) instead of 70/30 standard brass"

Purchased for a project that I've decided to skip.
