The bell has been converted to detachable with non standard Bayonet style ring, which only requires a 1 4 turn to attach and detach. The key levers sport 1940s Mercury Dimes (Solid Silver), and 3 water keys have been added. We recommend only being serviced by a shop or technician you trust. As Is instruments are not
