Does anyone use English bore Rossi?

I would like to know what is his/her impression.

According to the reply by a Japanese Dealer to my inquiry:
Rossi American bore: Similar to R-13. Center bore 14.65mm, top bore 14.8mm.
Upper part of tube and barrel are reverse conical. Sounds with clear focus.

Rossi French bore:Rossi's own style. Center bore14.6mm. Top bore 14.9 mm.
Upper part of tube is reverse conical. Barrel is cylindrical with 14.9mm bore.
Enables flexible expression.

Rossi English bore:Based on Boosey&Hawks 1010. Bore size 15.2mm. Upper part of tube is reverse conical. Sounds wide and dark with heart filling resonance.

English bore Rossi seems very rare in today's clarinet design. That's why I am interested in this Rossi.

Thank you in advance,
