Try Miraphone's website. Look for a model 54 baritone or 56 kaiserbaritone. The kaiser will be comperable to the Alex 151, and fifth valve is optional. The bore for the Miraphone is graduated: 1 & 2 (& 5) are 14.7 mm (0.580"), 3 is 15.5 mm (0.610"), and 4 is 16.2 mm (0.638"). Call Tony Clemments for a price.
I own a model 54, with a smaller bore than this one. The horn is stuffy at the bottom of the staff. The larger bore model is more free blowing.
Hope this helps.
