Do they fill in a portion of the bowl with solder and machine it to that
shape?

I've played one before, but it didn't have as much mass as the one on ebay.
The one we passed around the trumpet section really sounded quite bad- sure,
you could play high, but it was consistently loud and over-bright. I don't
know if that added mass could fix anything...

Everything is probably turned on a lathe except for the cup/bowl which
would be cut on a CNC (computer controlled) mill using a small ball end
cutter.
Here's an example: http://www.mastercam.com/Products/PDF/V9Mill3.pdf

Nick Drozdorff's trumpet pages have an exhaustive discussion and review of
the Lynch Asymmetric which Nick, a former MF sideman (as I recall) has
adopted as his primary piece.

I owned a Lynch lead model and found that I was not going to be able to use
it without making a significant embochure change. I was unwilling to mess
with my setup which is working pretty well and so I sold mine to somebody in
Japan for more than the US retail price.

That's odd looking. It looks as though a blob of mercury is sitting in the
cup.
