In Reply to: plastic bell protectors - on or off? posted by Fred on April 12, 2001 at 00:09:33:
My Meinl Weston 2145 shipped with a plastic protector-tubing arond the bell rim. To my ears, the sound was not affected noticeably with the tubing on or off. I miss the nickel silver bell ring on my Mirafone 186, but love the tone of the 2145.
