I've heard mention here of a Selmer Omega Clarinet with an engraved bell.
Anyone know where I might see a photo of one on the net or elsewhere?
I've never seen one and rather curious.

When Vytas restored his 1950s Centered Tone Omega, he renewed the gold color in the trademarks and also put it in the vine-leaf engraving on the bell and the bottom of the lower joint. Originally, that engraving did not have any color.

If it's there, why not?
I think it looks loads better with all the engraving gilded.
Only the Selmer USA Omega is the one where you'd rather not see the bell engraving, or highlight it!

I somewhat disagree, Chris, it certainly is an "attention-getter", a quite good cl, and showing it does spark discussion which may be educational as well. To each his own view? Regards, Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
