Hey, Kavin!

You could buy a Bach 42 or 47 bell to mount on your Edwards. However, this is pretty expensive and would take some more parts that would not come with the bell, as well as work by a trombone technician.

There are many Edwards T-350 bells out there that will fit with no work- you may be able to find one used.

Also, your current bell may play well in the high register. You've been playing for two years, which is a short time to have a good high register. Practice is always cheapest!

I hope this helps!

Thank you for your kindness answer. Because of my ability, I keep blaming my mouthpiece and my instrument.
According to your advice, try to focus on improving skills rather than changing your bell.
Thank you once again.

We get scams a lot here, so we're protective. You are very welcome here. Most of the post is not in Korean. Only the title is. Feel free to ask questions and learn, and offer advice to others.

And I agree with BurgerBob. Work on your playing - don't worry too much about your trombone. It's probably okay.

You're welcome! Best of luck!

Second, on a bass, I mounted a Bach 50 bell to an Edwards. It really is a different animal to get a one-piece flare rather than a two piece. Is it that much different? No. Going there is really going into mostly useless detail, but I liked it specifically for how I was using that instrument in upper level university and semi-professional orchestral use. Despite my best efforts prior to that, an Edwards just isn't going to be a Bach. Even still it wasn't.... but it could fool folks on a lot of days.

Cheers,
