I used an S cup with a 69 backbore for many years on a plain old Bach ML 37 Bb. It works.
The only reason I switched is that I got fitted for GR's. |

| So is the 69 backbore more open than GR #1? |

| It feels a little more open, but there is more to it than that. Combination of rim, cup, throat, backbore, gap, horn, player. |

What exactly, are we supposed to check out on Virtual Trumpet Studio? Ancient history?

I prefer to use the #69 bbore on smaller bore/step bore horns or horns with tight wrap like my Lawler Star becose i it opens up the hkgh registers , in general this bbore recods very good , thats why the studio guys preferi t , i belive that the old Purviance bbore records also geat.

| Yes, it is a fire ball with a 28 throat and an s cup, if you can handle the resistance. |

The 69 backbore has a very resonant and vibrant sound. I use it with a Reeves D cup, which I believe has a 26 throat and it still has a lively sound with a lot of presence.
I use it on a Schilke S42, which is a medium bore horn. |
