I fitted carbon fibre bands to a Selmer CT bell at its most vulnerable area - the socket. Considering how thin the wood is here the bands were put in fairly shallow. With just glue alone, the bell would split with any undue force from within (without the socket ring fitted), but after banding around the socket and immediately below, forcing a mallet handle inside and giving it a hefty whack which would split an otherwise unreinforced bell had no effect on this bell once it had been banded, so structural integrity is far greater after banding than it would have been before.
