Re: What A Difference A Bell Makes ...

Chris: I have found that drilling a hole in a barrel is as delicate an operation as brain surgery; which I have never tried on a human being. The hole in the bell-as opposed to a hole in the head-can really mess up the pressure waves. We have taken an old bell and tried experiments with drilling holes in different places, at different angles and of varying sizes. When it doesn't work -and it usually doesn't- we just plug the hole up and try again; trial and error and serendipity. A propos of nothing, what do you think of the Selmer St. Louis? It has never seemed to catch on.
