Is there an image of a carbon-bell G-50 lurking about...?

This is the best i can find...


But my questions is.... has anyone ever seen a Getzen Model G-52 BBb tuba? I've never heard of them before, yet they are listed as an option on the flyer above? I just remember playing the CB-50 (or G-50) at the NAMM Show the first year it came out, and was blown away by how good it played.

Here's a video of Canadian Brass and there are some close-ups of the carbon-fiber bell.
