Re: Bell cracked during shipping?

The bell of a CT is very thin indeed and prone to cracking. Many have cracked during the years and that's why a CT bell is rare and expensive now.

Temperature and humidity differences during the shipment could have caused the cracking."

I offered to send the buyer an "M" series bell, and when I checked to see if it was OK, I noticed it was much more substantial than the CT "R" series bell on my own CT (the bell of which cracked after I'd only owned it for a few weeks). So your response only verifies my own experience.

After my CT bell cracked I bought an inexpensive resonite Bundy bell from a seller in the US. Works great and I don't have to worry about more cracks.
