It's possible that it could be done by clamping with a circular clampp (e.g. a suitable size hoze clip) with some protection between wood and clip to avoid marking.
Then insert small wedges of wood or brass between the clip and the bell to exert pressure in the needed areas to help realign the cracks.

It's similar to a technique I have used in violin repairs to realign the different positions of a spit front plate.

Of course if you really want to "conserve" this rare and valuable Evette then the magic snake oil, sorry hide glue, might fix it, or on other hand might not!!
