Bflat Bach Bells.

Bach Bells are very special in how differently they sound and perform.

25 Bell=Smallest flair, comes standard on LB Bachs.

37 Bell=Sweetest sounding bell, standard for years on ML Bachs. A little more flair than the 25.

43 Bell=Seems more projecting than the other bells, a LT 43 works great for Lead work.

72 Bell=Largest flair, seems more fullness and thickness to the sound.

38 Bell=Tighter than the others. I've only played one, a guy from the rodeo had one. Very bright.

65 Bell=Dark, lot's of lower overtones.

I have a 72LT on my old LB Bach, got it after I heard Ernie Royal play! He played one and sounded magnificent! Bernie Glow had one as well. That's the sound I love. I also have a great 37 bell on a ML 43LR. Beautiful sound. Bach Bells are the best.
