Members sunburstbasser Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 I think, generally, the bigger bore will actually make it a little more free-blowing. I think some of Schilke's X series have bores about .465, and I'm positive Kanstul makes a few. Both are considered very free-blowing brands. I'm not sure how such a large bore would affect range, though if you are playing extremely high and using an already small mouthpiece I don't think it'd be much difference.

Members IndofunkCity Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 460 is large? My Connstellation has a 462 leadpipe, which is pretty small, but flares out a lot and ends up feeling bigger and more open than my Holton, which is a 468.

Members sunburstbasser Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 .460 is as large as several makers go, but obviously you have two trumpets that are larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
