 Buffet Festival A Bell: Replacement
Author: normancult

Hello everybody,

My A clarinet bell cracked the other day. It needs to be replaced.
Do you guys know what would be the best (and cheapest) way to get another one? I've emailed Buffet but, obviously, I had no answer so far.
I live in Los Angeles, CA.

Thanks a bunch,
norman

Weiner Music has a number of Buffet clarinet bells listed. If the crack can be fixed with superglue I'd do that.

You could always upgrade to a Buffet Icon or Backun bell. Otherwise it would be most cost effective to have the crack repaired.

Thanks for the replies.

I have no experience with Buffet Icon bells at all.
Is there anybody here that is currently using them?
How they behave with Buffet Festivals??
Thanks

You may have to go through a dealer to buy a replacement.

Is it a regular Festival bell (with rings) or a Jazz Festival bell (thin-walled with no rings)?

Ignore that - Just saw it's an A clarinet and the Jazz Festival was Bb only.

The opinions I express are my own.
