Thanks, guys. The consensus seems to be that a detachable bell certainly doesn't hurt a CC. In fact, I've heard others say that they'd rather have the two piece version of the MW CC than the one-piece model. (I've never played either model).

So where am I going with this?

Remember the discussion last month about Monster Weights? Well, it seems like putting a big hunk of brass on a tuba like a bell flange might accomplish something similar. Other than cosmetic issues, why aren't more professional horns built as two-piece instruments?

And even more to the point, would you ever consider converting your horn to a removable bell model. Why or why not?
