In Reply to: Holton Bass Trombone Question posted by Sam on February 03, 2004 at 13:06:20:
The normal Holton bass bone bells have been described by Holton as Rose brass bells. At one time Holton descriptions alluded to the fact that their rose brass was a bronze alloy, not just red brass. I don't know if the alloy has actually changed over the years, but except for a few bass trombones made with yellow bells, the rest are rose brass.
