If you want a fairly large piston CC horn, check out the Mirafone 1290. It is a tall horn with a 19.5 inch bell and .770 bore. It has 4 stainless steel plated pistons and a 5th rotor. It has a large sound darker than a 186 or 188 and is almost a 5/4 in size. It is also a lot cheaper (mid 5's) than many of the alternatives. It has a straight in York style leadpipe and a larger bow and branches than most other Mirafones.
