I played the Stomvi Mambo in Titanium and it was a .468 bore - just a little too big for me.

The other two Yamahas you mentioned earlier are radically different in feel and sound. The LA is much more open of the two and has a brighter sound. It also is one the best projecting horns your will ever play. It is a fine horn if it fits you.

The special Yamaha with the reversed leadpipe and shotblast finish is a darker sound - a very good jazz horn. To me it is not as open as the LA and has a totally different sound.
