Re: Favorite Mechanical Bell
I wasn't sure which one I like the most, as I love both WC Hayes and Safetran mechanical bells. Of the two, I'm gonna go with the Safetran. I like its tone a bit better, but the WC Hayes isn't far behind.
Re: Favorite Mechanical Bell
I've never heard or seen a GRS Mechanical Bell. Is there any video or one?

Re: Favorite Mechanical Bell
Don't know if they actually exist, as all I've ever seen (even on GRS installs) has been WRRS mechanical bells. I do know GRSA bells exist in Argentina though, and I don't think they're really any different from a WRRS mechanical bell, other than the logo on the back.nickrink wrote:I've never heard or seen a GRS Mechanical Bell.

They/Them for me, please.

Re: Favorite Mechanical Bell
My 2 favorite Mechanical Bells are The US&S Teardrop Bell and the WRRS Mini-Bell. Both of them are unique and have great sounds.
