Have any of you had any experiences with this size bell? By the way ,the bell will be made of copper.
Who is making the trumpet? I have a Kanstul 1500 with a 5'' copper bell that plays really nice. I can't imagine a 5 1/2" copper bell being good for anything other than a jazz horn. Sound like it would be fun to play though.
