If the rumored "Øystein Baadsvik" rotary Eb tuba comes to market, what bell diameter and bore would YOU design it to have, for your own needs? What if you owned the company?

For me, I'd vote for 17.75" bell (similar to 186CC), and around .740 bore. Sort of an Eb, Miraphone version of the Rudy 4345CC. (the "mythical" one-tuba-fits-all model)

If I owned the company, I'd make Øystein happy with it, and sell that particular model -- but I'm curious to know what the "market" would be interested in.
