"Freebell"?

A trumpet being manufactured in Germany is featured on a website http://www.freebell.de/ . The site is in German, however it has an interesting video clip showing the bending of a trumpet bell bow and some pictures of a cornet that look amazingly like something what you would expect if a Taylor Zeus got loose in Dave Monette's shop! (or if Dave's "decorator" got loose in Andy Taylor's place).

From the front page, click on "Einleitung" and then on "Video" (doooh). For the cornet, "Katalog", "Heavy 2000 B-Kornett".

(Sorry I had to use the word "Zeus" in the Wild West... but after all.... Andy was calling one of his cornet models "Zeus" before Alex had his brainwave).
