| B5 bell material
Back in the 60's when I began working for Mr. Schilke and he conceived the B5 and B6, both used bells purchased from Conn and thinned down to his specifications on a wet belt-sander. He did the work himself because he didn't trust any of us to do it right. He'd be covered in wet copper dust when he finished a batch. So we were all alot happier when we began to get the bells made to our specifications from Anderson Silver Plating, Inc. They required much less reworking and were more consistant overall. Anderson's still supply us with high quality blanks for our non-brass models and also the new sterling silver bells which are begining to generate some serious interest inspite of their somewhat high cost. |
