Talking of bell chokes, I had a Selmer Privilege come in to me lot that long ago where the player had trouble with altissimo F being unstable or kicking with all the various fingerings. The only thing that was different about this Privilege was an aftermarket Backun bell, so I tried it with a St.Louis bell and other older Selmer bells I have around the place and the altissimo Fs were rock solid with all of them. The Backun bell had far more of a choke (narrower diameter) at the base of the socket compared to Selmer bells, so that's enough to cause problems where you'd least expect them.

Remember kids, check EVERYTHING when going for an aftermarket barrel and bell and don't just do it to keep up with the Joneses.
