When you are at home, you can continue to use the convenience of the fixed bell case; that way you don't have to keep unscrewing the bell umptyumpt times every week. Loren

Simply for the convenience of the case I like a cut bell horn. A friend, however, noted that every time he wants to put the horn down for an unattended moment he has to disassemble the horn to get it back into the case. Having once had my assembled horn, with the open case that it rested upon, fall from a chair and wrinkle the bell, I learned the hard way that his concern is valid. "What about having a fixed bell converted to screw on? Any downside to that?" Well there's the cost of the conversion and the cost of the new case.
