.590" (like the Selmer Balanced Tone and Centered Tone and Bundy 1400)
qualifies as large bore. I suppose the older Leblanc/Noblet/Vito models at
.584" do, too. I know the Selmer Signets (.577") are undercut. Some of
the newer models come in at .573 or less. Narrower bores seem to be all
the rage lately, although my old (1950's?) Rene Dumont measures in at only
.563!

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
