Yeah, the 19 inch bell is definitely a good selling point haha. IMHO it is MUCH better than the larger diameter bells.
Mine has a monster bell and bottom bow on it, and I love it. Though I bought it with the intention of doing that very thing (the guy I bought it from sold me the monster bell and bow along with the King). I played it with the 22" bell it came with for a while before I did the conversion. I've never tried a 19" King bell.LargeTuba wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 11:01 amAre they realy that good? I was thinking about buying one while the markets good and putting a monster bell and bottom bell on it. Maybe not if there that good.KingTuba1241X wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 10:11 am Even Pre-Covid, it was hard to resell these wonderful machines for any more than $1600-1800 in fantastic shape unless you found a really motivated buyer. I think people need to just play them and they would understand.
