Just for the record, here are some current large bore clarinets (15,0 mm or larger at the upper end of the top joint) that I've measured recently. The exact measurement will of course vary somewhat with differences in humidity, between different specimens of each model, and there may also be some ovality with a difference in the vertical and horizontal diameter. All measurements presented are vertical (with the instrument in playing position) with the first number for the upper end of the upper joint and the second one for the lower end of that same joint. All clarinets are in Bb.
Martin Foag Reform Boehm, model 83: 15,99/15,25 mm
Selmer Privilege: 15,6/14,6 mm
Frank Hammerschmidt, model FH01 F (French clarinet with Viennese bore): 15,43/14,95 mm
Leitner & Kraus Reform Boehm, model 420 W (they offer two bore sizes, a regular and this larger one): 15,38/14,95 mm
Dietz Reform Boehm model 587 with Viennese bore (they offer three different bore sizes for their Reform Boehm's with this one being the largest): 15,34/14,91 mm
Wurlitzer Reform Boehm, model 185 (they offer only one Reform Boehm bore size): 15,07/14,64 mm
Selmer Presence: 15,0/14,64 mm
I may add that the most full and smooth sound (which is the kind of sound I'm after) on these clarinets I got with the Foag, closely followed by the Dietz. Best overall tuning on an a=442 level I got with the Dietz. Best sound for me with the Foag was with a PlayEasy A' Viennese bore mouthpiece (15,34 mm at the end of the bore), and best sound and overall tuning with the Dietz I also got with a PlayEasy A' but with German bore (14,94 mm at the end of the bore).
