Well, lemme see, i think i can answer one of these....

The yamaha 641 is large bore with what seems like a moderate to large flare in the tubing but a small bell. My mirafone has a medium bore with a medium flare and a small bell. The getzen G50 i played had a small bore, big flare and huge bell.

In "size" of sound

Largest-Getzen(sounds like a fat tuba sound)

Medium-Mirafone(sounds like a tuba on the subway diet but who exercises a lot.)

Smallest-Yamaha (sounds like a loud mouthpiece buzz)

Since there is no discernalbe pattern that i can see, i am now reminded of the Wierd Al song "Everything you know is wrong, just forget the bore and play along!"

DOug "have i just made a new parody?" G
