Reference Notes
Collaborative design between L'Olifant Paris and Patterson Hornworks. 12-bore (~4.8mm) throat provides the most open, low-resistance setup in the L'Olifant catalogue. 17.5mm rim transition width. Suitable for players who prefer a massive tonal core with minimal back-pressure. Use these measurements as a comparison starting point: fit and response still depend on the player, dental structure, instrument receiver, and each manufacturer's measuring method.
