Just when I thought Phil Smith's Haydn was the only one I ever wanted to hear I stumbled across this today. Interesting and tasteful cadenza without being overly flashy. Excellent playing and the pianist is dynamite too.
Silly questions though.. why not an Eb rotor? Is that not really a thing? Also looks like the bell rail on that E3L is on the side instead of the top, and pulled out to heck and back? Neat little idiosyncrasy. Wonder if that's not the usual #4 bell.

Doesn't look like a #4 bell to me. My buddy has an E3L and the bell less open through the throat and flares later. That might be a #2 or some other aftermarket bell. _________________ -Tom Hall-

The receiver on the bell tail is also awefully short for an E3L bell. It looks like maybe one originally fitted for a G1L, like the E bell. May explain the short receiver and the location of the slide rail, since they are further back on the proportionately longer E bells.
Here is a picture of a G1L with the F and E natural bells so you can see what I mean.
