| Bronze Bell
Hi:
I read your posts with interest since my impression of the "bronze" bell is somewhat different.
I personally own a new Edwards large bronze bell Gen X and chose the bronze bell for its ability to produce a dark and warm tone as opposed to the "bright" tone produced by my large Yellow (Yellow brass) Eclipse.
It would seem therefore, that in order to verbally portray the tonal quality of a bronze bell, that all those interested would have to be in agreement with the various terms used to describe said tonal quality.
By the way, it is my understanding that a bronze bell has a higher copper content than the so-called brass bells. The increased copper content would tend to soften the bell, resulting in a warmer tone. |
