FS: Bach 50G Gold Brass Bass Bell with Shires Mounts

[ttf_Scott Hartman]

I am selling my like new Bach 50G bass trombone bell with Shires mounts. I purchased the bell flare from DJ Kennedy who ordered it straight from the Bach factory for me in 2015. I had Shires mounting hardware professionally installed, so it should fit on any Shires bass valve section. The bell is 9.5 inches and gold brass and is unlacquered (raw brass). I've always played raw brass bells and enjoyed the responsiveness of them. This bell is in like new condition with no dents or dings. I just hand polished it and it looks great. It has some light water spots but I'm sure those would come out with a buffing wheel if the new owner wanted to have the bell lacquered. I only occasionally used this bell, I would use it in the orchestra when I used an all gold brass setup for german repertoire such as Brahms and Schubert symphonies. It was great for Strauss Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme. The only reason I'm selling it is that I have two of these same bells now. I am asking $700 OBO plus shipping. This is a great opportunity for somebody to get a one piece gold brass Bach bell that fits on their Shires without going through the hassle of getting the hardware mounted. Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions.
