If it's not a collector's item, why don't you have the barrel bored out
so that modern mouthpieces fit. That way you can try as many mouthpieces

I had to do this on my Bb simply because the barrel's wood had
swelled slightly since it was first manufactured.
You wouldn't be enlarging the *bore* (which could have major
effects), but only the socket into which the tenon fits.
