Thanks to all those who have replied to my questions thus far

Now I have
another question that just came up.
I realize that the copper bell is softer than the brass bell. I've heard that it's so soft that it's almost like an
"accident waiting to happen." Is the copper bell really that delicate?? Normally I've very careful with my horns but if the copper bell is actually that
"super soft," I'm beginning to wonder how practical it is.
