| Re: Fixed VS Tunable Bell
My experience with different bells on my tuning bell trumpets is not all-inclusive, but it seems that the bell flare makes a much bigger difference than materials. It is fun, however, to mess around with bells, and one of the fun things to do is to pull the bell out about 3/4 of an inch and do the rest of the tuning with the slide--this gives us even more gaps to fool with, and is always good for an extra 15-20 minutes in the practice session. Have fun!
