Bell for Leblanc PARIS alto clarinet

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone knows how I might be able to find a replacement bell for my Leblanc PARIS alto clarinet (circa 1972) in good condition (no dents or major dings) ??

Thank you for letting me know!

Vito, Normandy and Noblet alto clarinet bells are identical to Leblanc alto clarinet/basset horn bells, so you can use one of them as a replacement. Your best place to start is by scouring eBay for any of the aforementioned alto clarinet parts.

Are Vito/Normandy/Noblet crooks the same length as Leblanc basset horn crooks? Leblanc alto clarinet crooks are longer (as the top joints are shorter)and have the S bend in them compared to Vito/Normandy/Noblet altos.
