The yellow bell ring might be a well-aged ring made of ivory. Real ivory hasn't been used for much for the last thirty years (other than folk art objects), so that "yellow" ring may actually be a historic artifact, a relic of an era not to be seen again.
Incidentally, there are all sorts of rule governing ivory sales, but I've never heard of them applying to old pianos, much less bassoons. It would be interesting to hear from an expert as to whether there would be restrictions on musical instrument importing and sales.
(So wonders the guy whose old, second-hand bassoon also has a yellowish-brown bell ring...)
