| Im pretty sure they are not all large bore, the large bore is .468, the mlp .464 and ml .459, maybe somebody can correct that if its wrong but I dont think it is. I use mine for smooth jazz and the like, but it would work for legit or lead, I just have two other horns that work better for those catagories. the sound is probably about a 6 or a 7 with 10 being the brightest and 1 being darkest. I have heard that silver and raw chicagos are very bright but the laquer on mine seems to darken it because it isnt too bright, not even close to my callet, but brighter than my bach. the slotting is so so. it slots better than my callet which is very very loose, but not as good as my bach, with the exception of e above the staff, that the bach wont slot but the benge will. my valves also need to be replated on the benge, I imagine after I have that done the slotting will improve. I would definatly consider this to be a good all around horn. If I was forced to become a one horn man right now I would sell my bach and callet and use the money to fully refurbish my benge, because I feel the benge is the only one that would be effective in every situation, not the best, but effective.
