Re: Cracks in the lower joint socket - deal breaker?

As a general rule, bell cracks aren't that serious. I have two whose bells have been cracked straight through (1951 Fritz Wurlitzer R-B and P-Series Selmer CT). Both bells were repaired well, and the horns have been successfully used on gigs.

The cracks in the joint socket are another matter, though. While I'm sure they could be repaired, if it was my choice, I'd send it back. There are other, better BTs out there.
