Wouldn't it be cheaper to sell the Bach and the Xeno and buy an Eclipse or some other great "finished" "proven" concept?
The resistance of the horn is caused by the mouthpiece/instrument match as well as the leadpipe, the bell and many other factors like weight, placement of braces and material. If you gave the Xeno a tuning bell conversion, you could try many different combinations. Whether or not blow, intonation, projection, sound all come up better than before is a wild guess. If you have the parts and the conversion is not too expensive...........
