I think the bore is .680 or thereabout. It's exactly the same bore as the YBB105, which is still in production and is probably described on the Yamaha website. I have seen them go on Ebay for $500 to $850, depending on the condition of the horn and the phase of the moon. I had one for a while; it played well except for the fourth line F#, which was a bit hard to hit. The gray plastic case is very light and reasonably protective, but it can be crushed easily.
