Hey,

The Dillon music website says carbon fiber bells are available for this horn, but i don't know if that's true or just marketing. I do know that Chuck with the CB still uses a CF or some sort of non-brass bell on his Yamaha, so the setup must work. Playing my CB-50 all summer made me think it was heavy, but after two weeks marching at GT with Yamaha sousaphones, the Getzen feels as light as a feather.

Two weeks can make you forget how much you love your horn ;-)

So here's what I suggest

1)Get the CF bell
--if thats not available,

2)Play (hold, throw, lift) a REALLY heavy horn for a few days/weeks and then go back to the horn.
