How is a "one piece" bell made?

Post by Z-Tuba Dude »

Anybody know the process of creating a "one piece" bell, and how that process differs from making a regular bell?

Interesting question -- I had always interpreted "one piece" as meaning "not detachable." Does this mean that bells could actually be made from a single sheet of metal?
