Questions & Answers

I'm looking for a place to purchase the Merv- Replacement of 13 filters?

Hello, We are currently working on the MERV-related listings. Now there are thirteen filters. The filter SKU for the GBELLCVR1617BK will be GBELLCVR1617FILTER, and it should be available for purchase within the next few hours. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly if you have any additional questions. Thanks!

Is it possible to wash and reuse these filters?

Hello, These filters aren't washable or reusable, unfortunately. They are single-parent families. After 1-year of use, it is recommended that you replace it. Regular use for two months. Please contact us directly if you have any additional questions. Thanks!

Like Satchmo, the man in the photo is puffing up. Is there a lot of back pressure when you wear this cover?

These, which I tried on my tenor and alto saxes, are not something I recommend or like. Soprano-alto is a combination of soprano and alto voices. It's impossible to play the low notes. Air flow and harmonics are definitely altered. Don't squander your time or money on this. Protec is a good option.

Is there a hand opening in the cover for the French horn?

Hello, Unfortunately, there is no opening for your hand to work within the horn on this cover. It completely encircles the bell. Please contact us directly if you have any additional questions. Thank you very much!

It's difficult to put on, but it gets the job done

3/5

Putting it on is a challenge. The cover has a slit in the middle that I believe is used to remove and replace the filter. However, it appears that that opening is where the instrument's bell goes at first glance. I believe you are incorrect. You'll need to tighten the drawstring a little and then fold the cover's outer edge over the bell's edge. It's not an easy task. This is a non-stretchable fabric. In addition, the filter isn't what I expected. It's only a few millimeters thicker than a sheet of printer paper. I bought this for my middle schooler, and while I believe it will serve its purpose, removing it to wash and replace it will be a hassle.

This covering might irritate your horn

3/5

Depending on the natural acoustic properties of your horn, the amount of acoustic attenuation may be unacceptable. Even with the filter removed from the fabric bell cover, this mask did not work well on my vintage King Zephyr and Selmer Balanced Action tenor saxes, preventing me from playing from low C down. It seemed to have a lesser effect on my other horns, but it was still noticeable. The material of the fabric appears to be denser than that of other bell-shaped fabrics. Because different coverings produce different sounds, it's worth experimenting with them to find the right one.

Purchase a larger size; the product is fine, but the size description is incorrect

3/5

My trombone's bell is almost eight inches in diameter. The diameter is 5". This horn mask is designed to fit a trombone bell with an 8-inch diameter. 9 inches, but mine didn't fit, so I had to rip out a few stitches on both sides of the opening to get it to fit. (I should have returned it, but I had an immediate need for it. ) ) The bottom line is that it now fits perfectly and stays put while playing.

Fits the trumpet perfectly

4/5

It's an unusual filter insert. This bell is designed to fit a standard trumpet. The cinch does not touch the bell because it is double layered. It appears that the insert is not MERV-compliant. 13 material that obstructs the sound I'll have to take it out and make my own insert out of a furnace filter or something similar.

Take a look! After reading the directions, I was stumped by this bell cover, but after watching the video, my daughter figured it out in less than a minute

5/5

br>br>After using a white cotton cover provided by school for the previous couple of years, she's pleased with the quality of the cover.

My Yamaha Xeno Trumpet, which has a standard 5" bell, does not fit

3/5

I'd like to have a cover that fits. Especially if I'm going to pay $25 for it.

It's a challenge to put this together

3/5

I thought having a bell cover in this day and age of covid- 19 was a great idea, but the Bell cover was difficult to put on because of the way it was made. It was supposed to slip over the Bell like a shower cap, but the overlapping flap made that impossible.

The first time I used it, it was ripped

3/5

This isn't really fabric; it has no stretch and feels disposable. When we tried to put it on our tenor sax the first time, it ripped completely.
