Be sure to ask them if it is the true element beryllium.
I talked to the Schilke reps at ITG and he said they don't make any production horns with the elemental form of beryllium. They use copper for the bells. See if you can nail them down on the terminology. I suppose they have to have replacement parts for the old production.
So, you would wonder if you could buy an aftermarket beryllium bell and retrofit it on an new production horn?
I'll look up the B3L Schilke and learn a little more about this subject.
