Hi Tony - How have you been?
I too had a Calicchio 1s7 (ML) years ago that seemed a very good around horn of the Calicchio line. However, I was recently in Branson MO for a week doing a Welk reunion show. Jay Daversa ...
Welcome to the Website of Jay Daversa! ... has been experimenting with a ML bore #9 pipe R3 bell. Not just a great jazz player but a great alround player. And, another great lead player in Branson Darryl Ecsedy loves it for all out lead playing, so that might be another configuration as well. BTW I took a few braces off mine as well, and had amado spit valves put on it. Really lit that horn up.
I still have not found anything better for me as an alround horn than what I have now.
All the best.
