Chris & Micke: the 14.55 measurement is what I was told at S&S when I ordered French bore instruments. I finally got home with the set on Wednesday, and tried them against my 1010s this morning. As far as "power" goes, they beat the 1010s by a noticeable margin. So I have to agree with the view that the size of the bore at the bottom of the lower joint doesn't determine the projection, or "power," of the instrument. The tone holes are of a similar size to the 1010s, but placed closer together, which is handy for fingering. I guess if the question is "which large bore to buy," the answer should probably be, why fixate on a large bore? At least as far as length of phrasing is concerned, the "narrow bore" lets you go quite a lot longer. I don't have the tools to measure whether the end of the upper joint is exactly 14.55, but when you look in the upper joint, you see three distinct areas of tapering. I believe Buffets also do three sections, but as a polycylindrical form. Whether the S&Ss are polycylindrical or three areas of different degrees of taper, I don't know, but visually, they look like the latter. Jochen says he does the tapering for tuning and to get the tone holes closer together, and the tuning is pretty incredible. Jochen told me he tuned them to 440, and with a 66 mm barrel, they're right there. Just like Buffets, the barrels range from 64 to 67 mm.
