Description Brand: Leedy
Very early set of Leedy Orchestra bells. As you can see from the pictures they are not perfect - they are produced with 440 steel. The Steel has a thin nickel coating that has peeled off in areas. It is missing the small A flat key. The box is in poor condition - it has rotting and warping to the wood. The largest g key is 9 1/16" long. The smaller C key is 3 15/16" long. They are 1 1/4" wide and 5/16" thick. They sound good, but the felt pads are shot. They can be re-plated and tuned. The serial number is 6872, stamped on the C key. The weight is just under 25 pounds.You can see and hear the piece if you go the web address listed below Click to see a videohttps://youtu.be/oAkjebb_UAEI do my best to take a lot of pictures, so please consider them as part of the description.
