I was actually quite serious. Let me rephrase. Has anyone tried different
bells?

I wrote:

I have not seen any threads on bells. I an curoius to know if a radical
change in flare with length to compensate and other things such as material
and thickness will effect projection and on which notes?

Was a parabolic flare ever tried, is hyperbolic a correct term for the
current design, and what other bolics are there;-)

I have heared players talking about bells making a difference - is it true
or is it all "bells and whistles?"

Thanks for the info

Cheers, Leo

"You Take The High Notes" http://helius.carroll.com/p/leo_g/ There is a
difference between "dealers" and musicians that love not only the sound of
music but the tools which make it possible for people to play music. It's
important to set things free so they may ultimately find their way to
their intended parties. I am especially interested in Musical Instrument
History and technical data. Please email me with interesting links. Thank
you:-) Leo
