I wrote them about the Boehm instruments, and received a reply in which Otto said the bore choices were German, about 14.7 mm, and Vienna, about 15 mm. S&S sells their German system instruments in narrow German, wide German, and Vienna, the last of which is 15 mm. (I wrote Otto back asking about stopping by to try one of the Boehm instruments and didn't receive anything back, so they might not have a sample you can try there, at least unless you're principal in a major orchestra). I also emailed the Kückmeiers about mouthpieces for reform Boehms, and Carina mentioned that the Austrian mouthpieces are about 15.4 mm, but they have customers who successfully play them on German bore instruments. Not sure how that all fits together, but these people obviously know what they're doing.
