Schilkes are electro formed as I understand it. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.
To my knowledge, the only bells used by Schilke that are electroformed are the lightweight beryllium bells, which are now just really thin copper at this point. I could be wrong though. The rest of Schilke's one piece, seamless bells are (to my knowledge) drawn from a tube of brass or copper.
