What kind of sound with a cooper bell? I was "sold" on the "sales hype" that the 1510 with the copper bell has a very rich sound. Being that I have a Schilke which is very bright, I wanted something with a richer sound for sure. The 1510 was much brighter and thinner than the Schilke. The sound was the complete opposite of what I was looking for; so, this is why I say, PLAY IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT.
Don't get hooked on the copper metal but rather look at the weight of the horn. The 1510 was probably the thinest and lightest horn I have ever held in my hands. It is my belief that if the maker uses the thinest metal that he can get his hands on be it copper or brass, the thiness of the metal is going to over ride the qualities of the metal itself; so, I got a very rich looking horn but with a very poor and thin sound.
I have said before in another thread, that this horn makes a good student horn.
