Stunning Rose Brass Bell Responds with Depth and Warmth
The 6" rose brass bell of the BFH-1541RT allows notes to bloom with a rounded tone. Rose brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is prized for its ability to produce a complex timbre rich in overtones. The brushed brass bell exterior exhibits a vintage patina, while a clear lacquer coat seals in the finish. The bell's polished interior gives each note a clear, ringing quality with immediate response.
Hand-Lapped Monel Valves for Smooth Action and Accuracy
Blessing outfits the BFH-1541RT with Monel pistons, a nickel and copper alloy chosen for its ability to retain shape and seal over years of use. Each piston is hand-lapped to ensure a precision fit, allowing for fast, accurate valve action. Plastic valve buttons provide a comfortable surface for fingers to depress, and a 3rd-valve slide trigger allows for quick tuning adjustments on the fly.
