How big around is a Miraphone 1291 BBb at the valves?

I don't know if you are looking for exact measurements or just a opinion. But it was a very comfortable fit for me as far as ergonomics go. I'd say very similar in girth to my 2341, with only the outer bow and bell being slightly larger and a little shorter. ps I have a 41" tall detachable bell 2341.

About 39" measured just below the valve cluster (not passing over the valve cap)
About 41" just above the valves (again, passing at the level of the tubing, not going over the valve caps)
About 42" between the 2nd and 3rd valves (this time passing over the valve caps, but not over the valve buttons)

If you're interested in purchasing a 1291 BBb with hard & soft cases, I've got one.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! I am shopping for a quality BBb horn with 5 valves and BIG bottom. However, ease of carrying and playing on a chair is also an issue. I hope I'm not using mutually exclusive criteria.
