The Brandenburg bell is a small bell which replaces the fourth valve slide of a piccolo trumpet. The fourth valve is then used for the Brandenburg's High concert G's with the bell helping filling out the tone to the normal timbre of the instrument.

The bell can also be supplied with a detachable valve tube which allows it to be easily adapted to different model instruments.

Because of the large number of drill sizes used for Horn and Tuba, these gauges have every other drill size included. Non-covered sizes can be inferred from those available, and all sizes are included in the chart provided.

Horn - #s 1-17 (odd sizes only)
Trombone - sizes A-K.
