Re: Reverse taper on ancient clarinet?

Cheapest option is probably the simple bore guage that has two opposing arms, sprung loaded outwards and with a locking mechanism by turning the handle.
Having set and locked the measurement you then withdraw the guage and read the distance the arms are apart using a normal vernier guage.

Quite accurate (very accurate with practice) but a bit time consuming to use.

A proper bore guage with a long probe and dial guage is far better, but more expensive.

Don't go for too much precision - one of my guages measures to 0.0001" - but then you start measuring the grain pattern in the bore !!
0.001" is quite enough.
