Alex 163 CC Bell

I am aware this would be an incredible find if someone had one, but I’m going to put every feeler out before considering paying for a new bell from Alexander!!!

Baltimore Brass might still have the Alex 163 bell that I traded for some repair work (when Dave Fedderly still owned the business). If they still have the bell it is yellow brass and in good shape. I bought it around 30 years ago from someone who had a new bell put on his Alex (I could never figure out why). I bought it when I was playing a lot and I thought that it would be good to have a spare bell in case my bell Alex was damaged.

They may have to dig through a bunch of stuff to find the bell. Check into it and best of luck. Also, please let me know if they still have the bell and if you get it.
