I believe Peter Eaton still makes the large bore style instrument. Of course you must play that with the matching cylindrical bore mouthpiece (or have yours bored out to match....but I don't know if that is an ideal solution).

I played 1010s so many years ago it is hard now to recall a meaningful comparison. I might say that they were more like playing a heavily undercut Selmer. You get a LOT of flexibility of pitch and timbre but the down side is......you get a lot of flexibility of pitch and timbre. The point is it is a lot of work to keep things all "centered," but some prefer that.

Funny, you reference the German clarinet. My Wurlitzers where of the mid '80s when their bore was unusually large (for them - greater than 15.00mm?). But there was some critical blow back from their fans which led back to more "normal" bores from Wurlitzer.

Lastly though, there is the age old issue of what is "fun to play" vs. (if there is a vs.) what sounds best. I would argue the Wurlitzer bass cuts through pretty much any orchestral texture with the least effort. But if the feel is not what you want, then you must decide what is more important.
