"Beware that the 926 requires a mouthpiece with a bore specific to the 926. As I remember the bore is larger than a standard French mouthpiece so the intonation would be affected unless you get it bored out to the correct dimensions.

This isn't true of the 926, but it is true of the 1010. The 926 is not a large bore instrument and will play perfectly well on a French style mouthpiece. It has exactly the same bore characteristics as the B & H Regent, Edgware and Emperor models. The 1010 is a large-bore instrument and requires a mouthpiece specifically bored for the instrument. I have both 926's and 1010's. I use a 1010 mouthpiece from Ed Pillinger which works extremely well, and as I mentioned previously I use a Fobes San Fransisco on the 296. It tunes extremely well, although the bottom end is a bit flat. There's quite a bit of difference between the 926 and the 1010 from the players perspective. The 1010 is great if you need to make a lot of noise, but personally I prefer the 926.
