king detachable upright tuba bells

I'd like to buy 2 king detachable upright tuba bells for my school program, if possible.
One is silver the other, brass, but I'd take two brass if available. 19" or 22".
Any out there?

Thanks,
Frank Ortega

Re: Vintage 5/4 Conn CC tuba for sale

Sort of...this valve set (.740) was on the other Conn CC from 1918 when you played it. Since then, I had the original .690 valve set, replated and put back on that horn. The change improved both horns. This one, (.740) plays very close to the original one, but has a bit of a broader/darker sound. I ...

Re: Vintage 5/4 Conn CC tuba for sale

I would say that the MW 2155 CC or the Nirschl 5/4 CC tuba is about the closest in size.
20" bell, .740 bore.
