As I neither work with photography nor have a homepage, not to speak of my limited capabilities in working with the net, I have not always been able to illustrate my points in some TubeNet threads, that I have found interesting.
One of them was about some acoustic properties of large diameter bells:

Now I have found pictures of a Conn 40K quite similar to mine, which very well illustrate the combination of a large throat and a bell diameter of less than the standard 26".
When I say quite similar, then because the main circle branches of my 40K look like having a wider bore, than those of the illustrated 40K. Whereas the bell section bow and flare look exactly like that of mine with its 24" flare diameter.

PS: I have no relations whatsoever with the illustrated instrument. I do know absolutely nothing about its state of wear and repair.
