Made of synthetic, I think this could be a real possibility. With all the swapping of original and after-market bells and barrels that has become so popular with clarinetists, you might get pushback if you tried to market something with the bell and barrel included in the unibody, although if the instrument were really well designed aftermarket parts shouldn't be necessary to improve it.
