Was the bell lacquered or not?
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David McClellan Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 1:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Hornlist] bell pitting i recently had the screwbell ring on my ambronze lawson rotated because the area of right hand placement in the bell has become quite pitted. while i know that some people's personal chemistry can cause this, my lawson is only 7 yrs. old, and i also have owned a yellow brass (fixed bell) conn 28d for 34 yrs., with no pitting whatsoever. i have researched the alloys involved. the lawson, as i recall, is 84% copper, 14% zinc, and 2% tin. the conn is 70% copper and 30% zinc. could it be the tin that is leeching out? are there any other lawson owners out there who have experienced this problem? david [email protected] _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/treicher%40cooley.com This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
