<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 100718, member: 25&quot;]Bell metal is bronze. Bronze is an alloy so there are various mixtures of metals used to make it. Fundamentally it is copper with some tin. Different proportions make bronze for specific uses. Nowadays you get exotic bronzes, with beryllium, for example. Back in the day the proportion of copper to tin was the only variable. The more tin, the more durable, and the more expensive. Up to a point, anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>For a fuller explanation Google &#039;bronze alloys&#039;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
