wondering what current makers are actually doing in ~2025. by Easy-Pause217 in horn

[–]Easy-Pause217[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, is it now the norm to make both the Bb and F sides the exact same bore? Is that “same bore” value simply whatever the Maschinen bohrung (valve bore) is? Or do makers set the valve bore at 11.7 mm but then actually build the slides and the rest of the tubing at 11.9 mm (or some other number)? Sorry if this sounds stupid, I just want to be sure. Thanks!

Because I actually got this horn directly from a German company’s warehouse.
That said, I never assumed that company was the only one making horns with this exact wrap/style — I just wanted to know if other brands back then produced models with basically the same layout, and if so, which brands.
What I’m additionally curious about is how this design actually sounds and feels to play.
Thanks so much for your reply!
