For sale is a used S.E. Shires bass trombone bell, marked BII 7YMT7, in good condition.
The bell is unlacquered and has a small repair scar near the rim, and was purchased this way from Shires as a B stock.
To decode the numbers:
BII Wider taper than BI
7 "a modified two-piece constructionthey are made to combine the best playing characteristics of both one-piece and two-piece bells."
YM Yellow brass, medium weight
T7 "Treatment 7thinner in the flarethis provides easier response and lighter, less centered sound than the standard bell treatment"
This is a nice playing bell, more responsive and warmer than the non T7 version (BII7YM), at least IMO.
