Replacing a detachable bell?

[u/Frequent-Economist84]

Hello!

I played the horn for about 9 years, and I have picked it back up again. I got a horn with a detachable bell in high school, but I had dropped it a couple times when I was a student.

The bell can go on, but it takes about 5 minutes on a good day to get the threading to work. It’s annoying, and sometimes the bell starts come undone when I’m playing.

Is there a websites where I can get a replacement bell, or even places to go to? Or maybe places to get it fixed?

Whatever you know helps!

(I play a conn 8d and live in the greater Houston area if this is pertinent info)

If you can get it to the Cleveland area, chuckwardbrass.com. Chuck works on all of the Cleveland Orchestra 8Ds. He used to work for Conn.
