This model in standard brass sells new today for $4799, but that is for a brass only model, most likely a considerable upcharge for sterling silver/gold. Some manufacturers up charge minimum $1500 up to $2000 for sterling silver. It’s true that silver costs more than brass, but instrument makers often point out that the higher price isn't just due to the material itself. Handmade silver bells are more labor-intensive to produce, with a higher risk of errors during fabrication, making the process more time-consuming and meticulous. Value price on this one listed.
For players looking to break away from the typical U.S. models available today, a silver bell is an excellent choice, offering a unique tonal character and craftsmanship that stands apart.
