 Bore size of Tosca bell A and Bb
Author: Rhgsf

Hi everyone,

Recently, I bought a buffet Tosca bell (in Bb). It works very well with my festival(Bb). But when I set it with my A clarinet (festival, same as Bb), I feel resistance a bit. I suspect it is due to the differences of bore size between B bell and A bell. Actually, my festival bells have different bore sizes as well as their height. However, I found that the height of the Tosca bells(A, Bb) are completely same, in contrast to festival.

My question is, is there difference of the bore size between Tosca A bell and Bb bell? Do you know the specific size information? Have anyone measured them?

Thank you!!

"I feel resistance a bit"

Can you go into more details? What notes, what registers? I may know the answer. Depends how you respond! If I don't respond I have no idea! An old repairman named Hans Moennig adjusted barrels and bells so I picked up some tricks.

Thank you for your reply.

>What notes, what registers?
Notes near the bell, namely, low E and F, closed B and C.


I just want to know the difference between tosca B and A bell. I am wondering why they are selled with the different names (for A and for B) unlike ICON bells. They looks almost same at least their heights. If the bore of the A bell is larger than the B bell, I want to try it with my A clarinet.
