Ogden just north of Yankee's ballpark. Cali has hours generally 10 AM to 5 or 6 PM. The days of operation are Monday through Saturday but call to confirm this with the shop.
Small shop but it is the best pace to try out bells in person. The stock on hand is always different every time. It is best to bring cash for payment. Cali prefeers cash and will deal with ypu if you buy a few items at once.
I reccomend making the trip. It is a dirty workshop but it is filled with fine metal work.
The address is 948 Ogden Ave, Bronx , NY 10452, Phone is 718-293-6589, Its right on the corner and has a metal gate athe door. He usually is not there on Mondays.
