Gary,
Have you contacted Keith Berg in B.C. about your bell problem?
He is the closest person to you who could help.

Hi Gary,
If you have never cut a bell before and have no experience in horn repair, I
would definitely advise you not even to consider thinking about cutting your
bell yourself !!
A successful conversion to screw bell on your horn could be achieved
-depending on where your bell is thin and wha
My circa 1958 Alex 103 had its screw bell conversion done maybe 15 years
ago as part of a restoration & modification by Walter Lawson & his sons
that included replating & remachining the valves, replacing the ruined
original lead pipe, & relacquering the whole thing. A few months later, my

If the bell is that thin, a conversion to cut bell would be disastrous.
The bell has to be fixed quite well with the screw. Unscrewing the bell,
turning the bell a bit too strongly, well, the bell will not wrinkle but
fold entirely, as even new Alexanders do if the screw stuck somewhat.
And the pr
HI, Gary,
I also have a wonderful 50 year old Alexander 103, and I've had the bell
converted (not because of any thinness, just for portabiliity). There are
two ways to do the conversion, a right way and a wrong way - the right way
is naturally more costly. It involves unsoldering the entire b

I seem to recall reading in the Morley-Pegge "Horn"
book that Gumbert (?) remarked "composers of today,
like Mahler and Strauss, really require a little motor

right idea - isn't
Hello All:
I have a wonderful 50 year old Alexander 103 with a bell that is so thin it
wrinkles when you look at it wrong. I think converting the bell to

that has experience with converting bells in country..and failing t
Um...my point was (in the section that I mentioned
from Mozart 1) that the Bb horn entails many
cross-fingerings, whereas the F horn doesn't. Maybe I
was unclear about the section to which I was refering.

anyway.

Yes, but it would have to be a special strech material like they use for
car seat covers. "one size fits all" otherwise those proud parents might

Well.. I use pretty much only Bb on Mozart 1 to eliminate most cross
