The Bore Size Myth | Understanding Airflow & Resistance

For decades, players have talked about bore size in terms of “open,” “tight,” or “free blowing.” But what does bore size actually do? In this video, I explore the relationship between bore size, airflow, resistance, and player compensation — and why the right setup often feels very different than players expect. This isn’t about forcing more air or simply choosing a larger bore. It’s about understanding how the instrument and the player work together. When the match is right, the system becomes more efficient, more responsive, and more expressive. Crafted to Fit.
