Clark - Thank-you for the informative post on bore dimension changes.

You seem to not recommend reboring.
The twelfths have been shrinking for the last year on my 5-year old
Prestige R13 Bb. The top of the clarion really sags. This is accompanied
by sharp throat tones. If this is due to a bore shrinkage or swelling
would reboring help the problem or make it worse?
Is there a different reboring prodedure that can help the opposite problem
- wide twelfths? My Prestige R13 A has wide twelfths.

By the way I just bought one of your CF bass mouthpieces (from Veraquin in
Montreal) and it is fantastic!
