Engelbert Schmid Bells
Engelbert Schmid bell flares are available for use on Schmid's and any other horns equipped with Schmid screw rings. They are designed so that the inside diameter is the same on all bells. That means you can use medium, wide, and extra-wide flares on the same body!
Schmid flares come in three sizes: medium, like an Alexander 103 or a Holton H178; wide, similar to a Paxman L bell; and extra-wide, like a Conn 8D. There are four alloys to choose from: yellow brass-wide and dark, gold brass-a little more resistant, dark at soft volume levels and gradually brightening with the crecendo, nickel silver-bright and ringing, and sterling silver-a unique sound of remarkable depth and intensity. A garland adds stability and a little more resistance-useful in many playing situations. Hand-hammered bells are made in the traditional manner; a sheet of brass is cut to the approximate shape of the bell and fastened with a brazed seam. The construction technique involves much less deformation of the metal and the sound produced is one of complexity and subtlety. (All sterling silver bells are hand-hammered.)
