Features: Bore stated 11.66 mm. bell 125 mm. Monel valves; Nickel slides; Lightweight foambody case; Mouthpiece. Wessex series: Elite. Wessex publishes both units and rounds either one (11.66 mm appears as 0.46" on some models; the CR20-HP prints "11.6mm (0.459")" where the inch figure is the precise one), so a 3-decimal inch figure is taken as published and otherwise the millimetre value is converted.
