Mark,
Yeah, I did not mention the bell in my "Top 10" list because Dave had already noticed it. So I tried to point out other things. But I have never heard of an Alex without a bell garland either. That is the ONLY identifying mark on the older ones since no serial numbers were used for so many years. (For insurance purposes I added identification numbers to my horns in hidden places.)
BTW - I have been reading your posts here for a long time, yet I am never quite sure how you pronounce your last name. Is it just "cha-chich" like it looks? Or is it pronounced some other way?
Regards,
Wade
