A normal bored instrument has a leadpipe with a smooth flare and essentially the same bore size from the tuning slide to the bell. A stepped bore instrument can have a leadpipe with a stepped flare, a smaller bore on the top of the tuning slide than on the bottom, and even possibly another step going into or out of the valve cluster.
