BELL RIM BLOCK - LARGE

Our thanks to technician Mike Webb for coming up with this great idea for help in straightening bell rims.

Machined from 2" (51mm) thick UHMW plastic, these blocks provide a solid, flat surface for straightening tenor and baritone saxophone bells, as well as trumpet, cornet, trombone, and other bells less than 8 3/8" (21.3cm) in diameter. Cut-out area in side allows for narrow, focused work range. Clamps in any standard bench vise.

Diameter: 8.375" (21.3cm).

For alto saxophone we offer a smaller 6.375" (16.2cm) block (see below). The smaller size is necessary so that the bell keys will clear the block.
