I have an old/new (never used) Miraphone 190 (B-I-G) upright bell. I have pretty much decided that I won't be using it for anything. I'm not "giving" it away, but I'll sell it for less than you can buy one "brand-brand" new at a "brother-in-law" price. You can cut it anywhere you wish, including at the 7 1/4" point. The rim is approximately 20" diameter, and it has the typical Miraphone garland.
This is a tall bell. The bottom end of it is just a little bit too large in diameter to fit "direct"/non-detachable into a Conn 2XJ bottom bow, but again, if you're cutting for a detachable male collar, it's great.
