Master models

« Back to Glossary Index

Master models are the basic shapes for making bells. The master models can be made from a wide variety of materials. While clay and wood were used in the past, newer models are made from plaster of paris, bronze, synthetic resin or using 3D printing. The bell models have to be replaced from time to time due to the wear and tear of the bell models. For this purpose, the basic model is carefully stored in the archive so that a bell model can be made from it again.
