Dale,
How do you like the .485 bore on your 5A? The one pictured on the Conn Loyalist site is mine, and when I started playing it with a Wick 4B I felt as though I was blowing into a hollow log! Same deal, a Conn 4 tamed it. Great horn, though!

I have since moved on to a Schilke XA1, but the 5A soldiers on in our brass band. I am probably going to sell it this summer (along with a 76A short cornet), but the guy that is using it doesn't want to return it! He loves it, too!

Regards,

Bill
