Just to dispell a myth, since many folks have not actually held an Eclipse in their hands nor seen one in person. It is NOT a tunable bell. REPEAT: IT IS NOT A TUNABLE BELL. The rear crook is where the tuning slide is, then there is a brace attached to a brass "sleeve" of sorts - one end is the tuning slide receiver and the other end is where the bell is attached. At no time time does the bell move on these horns. I just had to clarify this because I have repeatedly read on the boards that folks are under the impression these horns use a tunable bell configuration. I assure you, that is not the case.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.....
ECLIPSE CONTEST!!!
