Could someone please explain the difference in the
K3HA & K3LA models
Thank you
EDIT -(K = Kettle Drum Principle, 3 = three chime, L = Low Mount, A = American Tuned)
Now how can I ( by looking ) identify the HA or LA, and if the correct chimes are installed on the manifold ? are they "stamped or numbered individually ?
The manifold is easy enough to pick. The High manifold has a distinct riser between the flat part of the manifold where the bells sit and the base inlet. The Low mount has the inlet flange flat against the manifold body.
As to the bell markings, depending on age, you may find an “A” stamped on them, but you can also look for the bell numbers. The American tuned K3 had 1,2, and 4a. The Canadian was 1,2,3 I believe.
