Another thread had the question of what bell to put with a Segal Barrel. I couldn't come up with many different types of replacement bells other than Backun.
So who else is making aftermarket bells? I'm completely happy with my set, and am not in the market, but curious.

Orsi & Weir and Yuan Gao ("Royal" line) both come to mind (both also sell barrels).
Best regards,

Backun makes bells and when you find the right one for your clarinet the're great. Mine actually make going over the break smoother and make the altissimo B and C warmer and fuller. I never thought the bell made much difference until I tried his. After trying 8-10 I realized how wrong I was. I now have one for both of my Buffets and my Selmer Signature. Like his barrels, he makes them in different woods so you need to try them to find the best quality for you but it's worth the time and effort. It's easiest to do that when he's at a clarinet type convention or master class because he usually had dozens to try then. That's when I found my first one and went from there.

Didn't DEG make an aluminium bell at some point? (in addition to their barrels). I have only seen these advertised, never known anyone who owned one or had even tried them out.
