Rick,
I understand the differences in the two types of bells (horn types) regarding width (York vs. Miraphone comparison). I may have missed it along with those and other postings, but in all your research regarding different bell types, what is your final analysis regarding the length of the bell in either bell/horn type? Obviously, if the horn makes the sound you want, and does everything you want and expect, then it becomes a moot point. That notwithstanding, I'm still interested in your findings/opinions.
