That's not really what I'm saying.  I don't feel it reflects the bore size by output any more than most horns do.  It's a very powerful tuba with very few negatives.  I enjoy its agility and responsiveness, but the bigger horns get a different kind of powerful sound.  I sometimes wish I had both so I could choose the horn I want for each situation.  Money sometimes forces us to make a choice between a small horn with surprising power, or a large horn with surprising agility.  I made my choice, but I'd rather have both.  I've been very happy with the Conn.
