Thank You for posting.
Based on the prices you have posted I would say the "Beryllium" bells are copper with silver plate. Copper is relatively cheap and beryllium would be very expensive. I am pretty sure we are seeing "Beryllium" used as a trade name and not the actual metal.

I think we have beat this pretty bad so unless we can get a Schilke sales rep to chime in with the truth and history we aren't going to get anywhere. All I can say is I talked to the Reps at ITG and they said "Beryllium" is used as a trade name for copper with silver plate bells.

I wish we could drive a stake in this. But we can't.
