Wow, this thread is exploding! Great input from everyone!

Re: Does the bore even affect the tone, or is it the tone holes? Well, I'm not knowledgeable enough to form a definite opinion on this, but haven't met any expert yet who would say the bore doesn't matter, nor can I imagine that even if this were true, the tone hole design correlates with the bore and as such it'd at least indirectly play a role. But I guess what donald said about the German system bass makes, sense, so really, I don't know.

Chris, I'll take a look at the bundy - I was given a bundy alto for a concert and it had an imho fantastic, extra rich tone, albeit this is certainly no pro model.

Thanks for the link, Reformed, that was an interesting read!
The 1010 in particular seems, as hinted by some, rather fraught with problems...
On p.261 the author pretty unmistakably states that the later 1010's detoriated in quality - it seems professionales more and more switched to the easier to play (and/or more in tune) Buffet R13 for a reason.

So perhaps I should look for 15mm clarinets that accept normal french mpc, as I do not have the time and energy to invest into a set of clarinets that I need to (heavily) get adjusted to. There's a set of 926 on that auction site which is apperently well-selected - other than that, I might need to save for a few more years and get custom Rossis or a Reform Boehm (but this is something I'll do eventually anyways!). By now, I much prefer the sound of my Amati A, even if it tunes poorly, but for some reason, all of its notes, even the throat Bb sound fuller and more pleasant than on my RC. Closer to my teacher's Wurlitzer than he expected!

It's somewhat annoying there's so little Information on current production bore/tonal design. What I'm mostly looking for is probably a tapered 15mm or whatever gets me a "Big tone, very flexible and rich-sounding" as stated on the Rossi website...
