Check out the Schilke tuning bell design and the Stomvi Master series horns. The Stomvi's have the coolest system. (OK - I'm a little biased - I have 3 of their horns).

1. Interchangeble (I have 3 different leadpipes and they really make a difference) 1 piece leadpipes that plug into the receiver and have no gaps between joints. One smooth air passage from receiver to valve block. A super smooth blow.

2. Interchangable (different tapers) and adjustable tuning crooks on back side of valve block. All the benefits of a tuning bell design along with the interchangability.

3. Interchangable bells - different tapers and materials. Screw into horn and not bell crook. Makes for much more solid mounting than Schilke system. This is a really cool (and useful) system. I change bells all the time depending on the gig.

Might be nice for the Eclipse guys to take a good look at Stomvi's system.
