Spinning
In this step, a brass plate is cut into a circular shape and spun while being shaped on a mandrel.

Curling
In this step, a wire is inserted in the rolled edge of the bell, creating a rim around the other edge of the bell.

Bell stem welding
A brass plate is cut, then aligned with the rim and welded to it. Next a mandrel is inserted and the bell stem formed around it. The welded area is then pressed flat and the seam is smoothed with a roller.

Drawing the bell stem
In this step, the bell stem is drawn and fitted tightly against the mandrel to create a tapered pipe.

Bell stem ice bending
In this step, water is put in the drawn bell body and frozen. The bell body is then bent as it is pressed against a form.

Bell stem bulging
In this step, a precision water-pressure mold is used to obtain the final shape.

Bell stem bell stem welding
In this step, the bell and the bell stem are welded together and the seam is smoothed with a special machine.
