You can have the bell chopped off from the outer portion? If so, wouldn't that affect the sound of the bell, not having the surrounding metal to help resonate?

Check it out. The trade in program allows you to trade in your used or new gear for new cymbals. Click on the "drum gear online" link for the prices for new Saluda Cymbals. Good thing is, if you dont like it, they will re-work it until you are satisfied. PM me if you have any ?'s

Send them to me. I work at a MFG and have access to everything including laser cutting. You want some scroll work with that? Twisted Evil

How about your initials etched in each one?

the cymbals are pretty crappy, i dont think thed be worth much, but one sounds like an ice bell, and the other ones just big

I`d think any good machine shop would chuck it up and cut were you wanted it.

I`ve had this done to elliminate a crack and make the cymbal smaller, they put it on a lathe and use a parting tool.
