The Large Bell
Bell Diameter: 140mm / 5-1/2" Bell Material: Red Brass or Bronze Bore Size: ML 11.7mm / .460 Weight: 1210g / 2lb 10oz. The Large Bell is our most popular model. Its rich, dark tone is great for Jazz, and Big Band ensembles, but it also lights up when you want it to. It wouldn't be out of place in a wind ensemble, either. The Large Bell's valve section is positioned closer to the centerline of the instrument, making it feel very balanced in the hand, helping reduce fatigue during long playing sessions. Like all Divitt Trumpets, it offers a rich sound core, quick response, and enhanced stability and feedback. The sound profile is wide, with a very rich tone that surrounds the player. The Large Bell comes with 2 tuning slides. One in Brass, and one in Nickel Silver to add extra crisp articulation, brightness, and projection and slightly changing the resistance and feedback to the player. With the Nickel Silver tuning slide, the player can easily cut through a Big Band on lead, or take on the grueling late night sets in a rock band horn section. |
