The wide bore English clarinets (B&H 1010 and Eaton Elite) require a mouthpiece with an absolute parallel bore to give correct intonation. The bore is not bigger than french style but has no taper whatsoever.
Incidentally the B&H 926 does have a tapered mouthpiece bore but generally much less accute angle than French and many of the earlier Leblanc instruments were suppied with mouthpieces with much less taper than a "standard" mouthiece.
Is there indeed any one standard or correct taper for a mouthpiece? I suspect many instruments would benefit from changes in this area of their set-up.
The 1010, 926 and Elite bores are purely cylindrical. I believe some Eaton International (medium bore) models have a very small degree of reverse cone at top of bore.
