Chris P: I don't mean to disagree with your experience but I cannot agree with your opinion that non-wood material would not crack like this. And, I cannot assume that just because the horn is said to be a wood E11 that the bell is also wood. Many wood clarinets have been offered with non-wood bells......including some marketed by Buffet. Since plastic bells are typically (these days) made by injection molding (both thermoplastic and thermoset varieties) they can contain "flow lines" that can mimic grain pattern in wood. I'm still from the Doubting Thomas school of Materials Engineering and avoid using the word "never". I am a retired Metallurgical/Materials Engineer and have personally investigated many material failures. My opinion remains that "it looks like "Bakelite or hard rubber" until more proof is offered other than pewd's comment. Photos, of course, can be misleading.
