Hey Don!
Welcome to the site! I see you play a Schilke with a tuning bell. So do I. I guess that's why I recognized it. Which model do you have? Mine is the B1L with the standard yellow brass bell. I have been wanting a darker, richer sound, But a heavy weight bronze bell is a little pricey for me right now. I did just get heavy valve capps today. It does seem to make a difference.
