There's not a lot written about the bores in mouthpieces. You may not find too much. The best bore I've seen recently is on the Selmer Concept mouthpiece. But the rails need some work on them, without adjustments these tent to be stuffy.
The Vandoren BD5's are a shade too open, 1.13MM's and up, plus the bore is a bit too small. I haven't played on any of the Fobes lately. He's always made very nice mouthpieces, but if it's squeaking it's probably a facing situation. Mouthpieces can and will warp, with the exception of glass. Feel free in writing as I do have the bore and chamber measurements of most good mouthpieces. The stinky mouthpieces I haven't taken measurements.
