Re: Selmer Centered Tone Bell

crazyclarinet : having inspected at least 5 CT bells I can confirm that the flare seems to be milled thinner. This is less the case with the 9s and 10s that followed. Usage? Milling? The wood quality used ? Dropped or not, the flare seems to be fragile compared to other bells I've seen. Perhaps being a "jazz" horn means they got rougher use than an orchestral instrument, knocked about more on the bandstand, although I haven't noticed this for the 4 BTs that have passed through my hands (and which I prefer), the CT predecessor.
