Some of my vintage clarinets have cracks under the metal flare rings which, as it seems, can't prevent cracking or breaking out of the rim in every case. And: Bell rims without ring are not quite new, see photo (C. Kruspe C-clarinet from ca. 1880).
Most German clarinets like Schreiber, F.A. Uebel, Oscar Adler, Yamaha, in the premium segment Wurlitzer, Leitner & Kraus, Dietz, today are made without metal flare rings, except, as far as I can see, Hammerschmidt and part of the Boehm models like, of course, Buffet- Crampon France.
