Re: Making a Whole Bell Stack Removable
I've never seen a BBb OTS, lots of Eb, but never the contrabass.
This is similar to a helicon that Lee had through his shop a while back - a brace was designed to fit into a post, allowing for the bell to be removable. I had a similar thought to use lyre mounts and square rod to secure it a little better.Tubajug wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 9:26 pm I have a Reynolds baritone body with a removable bell. You could use the tenon and collar from that. The ID of the collar is approx 3.5". It is missing the flanges and screws, but you could probably procure some. You could then drill a hole in the male tenon so that the screws actually go through the male tenon rather than just press against it. Dan Schultz did that for a removable bell helicon he made.
Without pulling it apart, the inner diameter at the first ferrule above the bell is a little over 3 inches in diameter.
