Screw Bell Adams E1
Schmitt Music in MN presented this prototype of a screw bell Adams E1 - sounded pretty decent, I thought! I would guess the heavier screw collar would change how this would play compared to a regular E1. Screw bell trombones are all the rage these days, and this approach has been popular with french horns for decades. Because the weight distribution in the bell has to be an important factor in how it plays, I've never heard someone do a comparison of a cut bell instrument versus a traditional bell setup of any instrument.

Dave, I recall you had one of these to test a few months ago - I wonder if this is the same instrument?
