I once bought a Morgan C clarinet MPand a regular Morgan Bb MP. The C's
facing, tone chamber, bore taper and bore exit diameter were identical with
the Bb. The only measurable difference was the bore length. It was, maybe,
one mm longer. The difference in tuning was so slight as to be imaginary.
They were both horrible MP's. The C was a "squeeker." I sent them back to
Morgan in disgust.
