 Do thin-walled bells make for better resonance and response?
Author: ruben 
Date:   2016-10-26 21:57

As an experiment, I put a Selmer 10S bell on my very thick-walled Selmer Recital clarinet. I find that it makes for better and swifter response and more resonance. Marchi and Mazzeo clarinets used thin-walled bells. This would be the opposite of Morrie Backun's very thick-walled, soft-wood bells. My temporary conclusion is that a fat barrel and a thin bell seem to make for a good marriage. I would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
