' looks like he has an old straight tuning bit, and the neck and bits approach his embouchure almost straight-on.
The bell comes fairly close to hitting him in the forehead (as a bell does when one inserts the tuning bits and neck to approach the embouchure from the player's right (backwards).
If he had used one or two curved bits (and approached his embouchure from his left) the bell would have been completely out of the way of his head.
Thanks for posting the pictures.
