Ken Wolman noted:

<<<If you put a 5JB on a large-bore horn like the old Centered Tone or
probably the Leblanc Pete Fountain model, you will
sound like you've got a hidden microphone stuck in the instrument: the power
you can generate is unbelievable.>>>

. . . this is *definitely* not the right setup for Mozart or Brahms -- but
very appropriate for acoustic jazz. My favorite "baseball bat" was the
Series 9; it had a pretty huge bore, too.

What is it that Ben Webster said? Something like, "if you can't outplay
'em, outLOUD 'em!"
