Re: Sharp Bb

If I understand the situation correctly, while I need a cylindrically bored mouthpiece for a B & H 1010 or Symphony, which have a large bore, the narrower bored 926 should play with a conventional French-style mouthpiece. I have a 1010 which tunes well with the original B & H 1010 mouthpiece and also with my Pillinger rebored Selmer mouthpiece. My problem is with my 926 Imperials. I normally play these with a Clarke Fobes CF+, but even using an original B & H 926 mouthpiece the Bb problem is still present. I find the same situation on B & H Emperors and Edgwares, which are mechanically and acoustically identical, hence my thought that this is a characteristic of the breed.
