Fix or Replacement for original CSG-H Bell

Author: Bob Barnhart ★2017

Well, I suppose its better that this happened during the pandemic when I'm not rehearsing or performing, but I broke the bell on my 16-year old Yamaha CSG-H Bb -- (My Bb accidentally slipped through my hand and hit my kitchen tile bell-first as I was about to place it on its peg, breaking off 2 large sections of it.)

I've never had this happen so I'm not sure what course of action to take:

1) I could try to repair it but I have questions about the adhesive to use and the impact to the resulting acoustics.

2) I can call the Yamaha Atellier in Buena Park and see if they can order a replacement.

3) I could try a 3rd-party Bb bell that would work with the Yamaha CSG

Does anyone have any comments or suggestions WRT repairing a broken bell?

Does anyone who plays the CSG have experience and recommendations concerning any 3rd party replacement bells?

Thanks in advance for any help!
