Sterling Plus bells (99.9% pure silver, seamless construction) create a full complement of partials (overtones) in the tonal spectrum, for a focused sound with great projection.

The Sterling Silver Plus silver content is 99.9% pure silver (should probably be called a Silver bell, as Sterling Silver is 92% silver content), while other manufacturers have sterling bells with around 92-93% silver content, and 7% copper content (which is known as Sterling Silver).

A Sterling Bell is much heavier than a Brass Bell. As such, you can get much louder without the sound distorting, and the sound in general is darker than a comparable brass bell...

I find that they do produce a much richer, slightly darker sound. I'm in love with the tone I get with mine. I also find it adaptable, I can just as easily use it for jazz as orchestra (though I do use different mouthpieces)... The high register (especially extreme) brightens up a bit, but still keeps a good solid core and "richness" to it, to my mind.

... the sound is richer, has more- or different harmonics, but therefor gives the impression of sounding thinner when played loudly. I would use it in brass quintet or chamber music settings, but not choose it for orchestral work.

damage caused to his Sterling that was shipped improperly to him.... the Bells ARE softer so they are more susceptible to damage
