Re: Which large bore clarinets to buy?

"Does the bore even affect the tone, or is it the tone holes?" My experience agrees with the folks who say it isn't entirely the bore. Whether it's entirely the tone holes, I wouldn't want to say. If it were something simple, more makers would be making fantastic instruments.

"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." I bought my 1010s new in 1984, and within six months, the importer I got them from said they'd been discontinued. I wouldn't say there's a problem with the quality--they've always worked as designed. They are, though, harder to play for me than Buffets in terms of the ergonomics. Can't express an opinion on why British players started moving away from them, but stopping production tends to undermine confidence in something.

"One of the main feature of the 1010 is not only its very wide bore, but also its very cylindrical bore." True, but when I tried an Elite against my 1010, going back and forth, the sound and playing characteristics seemed very much the same, but the tuning was noticeably better on the Elite.
