York 3v Eb

[York-aholic]

I actually have, in my stash of parts, a very old York “short” bell with the smaller 18” bell flare…….I’ve been considering trying it on that horn pictured above, just to see what happens.

As far as I can tell, that 18” short bell (33”ish inch tall tubs) came in:

-18” Top action monster Eb
-high/low pitched top action 700 series. The low pitch (only) 700 series at the 37ish”

@Yorkboy Did you?

Yes, I sort of did, some time ago. It actually had a detachable bell - the same length as the 700 series bell, but detachable. I eventually removed that bell and used it on another project that would benefit more from it, and replaced it with a Holton monster E flat bell.

Just out of curiosity, what did you end up using that bell section for?
