I am inquiring as to the bore size of the original Meha. I believe it was a 470 bore.I am not speaking of the Kanstul made Besson of the early eighties. I played a Kanstul Big Band today and i have owned an a 1930's Meha and they played very similar. Any one ever got the same feelling.

My 30's Brevette is a .464. The large bore (.468") MEHA didn't appear until after WWII. The Rapuana version are usually medium bore, but some are ML (.460"). I don't
believe that there was a .464" bore Meha ever.
