Chris, This may not be much help to you but I had the bell cut off an old horn with a view to having a screw coupling added. This was for transport purposes on a train which was a nightmare during rush hour. I never did get the coupling fitted. Anyway I bought a more expensive horn with detachable bell which I now use 95% of the time. But I use the mutulated horn for practice in the car or whatever, or sometimes at rehearsal. The only comment that I have received is that projection of the sound is much reduced. Intonation does not seem to suffer. So there. Don
