I had the opportunity to meet with Chuck and the Canadian Brass this summer. They did a concert at the USDAN Center for the Creative and Performing arts. I went back stage and BS-ed with him for about 1/2 hour. On of the questions that I asked him was, why does he use a Carbon Fiber Bell? He said that it is for projection. The bell really does project well, although he did not let me play it, i was able to take a close look, and was able to hear and see him play from very close up, and from a large outdoor ampitheater. Boy does that tuba carry.

Just thought i would add my 2 cents and great experience.

BTW it was a great performance, seeing them in person was amazing, of course i got all their autographs.
