Re: Bore size differences

Thanks very much, both of you! Have to say that based on my limited experience of different makers' instruments, I've no confidence to say anything definitive about bores. 1010s play and sound a lot better for me than Buffets as long as the mouthpiece is right, and I attributed that to the large and straight bore until I tried the S&S French bore, which tapers significantly more than Buffets and also works quite well for me. The only consistent factor is that they're wide at the top of the top joint. I'm glad at least a few of the small workshops are surviving. In talking with Jochen, it sounded like Holland is fueling a lot of interesting experimentation through buying and requesting odd new things. S&S, anyway, seems to be doing well enough, as they employ about a dozen folks and the waiting period for us plebs is about a year now.
