Hi, Morris,

My Blessing 141 Artist Short Model Cornet has a .460" bore which is enough for me. I doubt if I'd have enough wind to play a .485" bore.

I doubt if most people who hear (except trumpet and cornet players) know much about bore size as long as the playing isn't boring.

Best wishes,

Lloyd
