I've seen this done -- the flare I think was a funnel.

Somewhere there is his lecture in which he makes a brass instrument w/ sevel meters of tubing, etc.

bc  recorded much of it at a recent NCNAAPT section meeting. (at San Mateo HD)

Brian Holmes and B. Jones are (is?) the same person.

Check the ease of playing and the overtone structure of each setup and compare. It's amazing what the flared bell does.
