Opinions on screwbells?

Post by Stephencarlisletbone »

I’ve never played a screwbell horn before and I’m curious to see if there are any major differences in this playability/sound

Yes. You'll get less feedback and the horn is heavier to the front and left.

I find my 50 screwbell to be a pretty good bell, just not as good as my uncut bells... I don't typically use it unless I'm traveling.

Good if you’re traveling often, it’s a different flavor of sound and the feedback is different, I find myself recording much more often now that I have one

I like the core I get from mine.

It’s a lightweight version of my usual bell.
