The simple answer is no, you have to play the dern thing to get an idea. The length has a relation to the bore size and even for those who know the equation for that, reality is something different anyway. The easiest way to find out is to find a mouthpiece that fits and to pull the barrel until open G and C5 harmonizes with low E and B4. The long way is to have several mouthpieses and barrels and try various combinations. Play octaves and fifths in various keys to see where you end up.
