Re: Roger Bobo's Miraphone 180 with Besson bell?

You can try "friending" him on facebook. He accepted my request just because I told him who my professor was and he accepted. He even responded to the message I sent along with my request. It's worth a shot and then you can hear it straight from him.

Not direct knowledge per se, but with his CC 184, the change to a Besson bell yielded a bit more power with less break-up. I've played a clone of his and it really does work (you can accomplish the same thing ith a YEB-321 bell (a miraha, if you will). I would presume the swap would yield a more powerful F than the regular 180, and an Besson Imperial with no huevos.
