The Portnoy BP3 was mentioned in an earlier post. Does anyone know its tip opening?

Thank you David. On the Inernational Music Suppliers chart the BP2 is listed as more open than the BP3. Is this a mistake?

Martin...David is incorrect. The Portnoy BP3 is approximately 1.25

Here is a reference chart:

Per the Woodwind and Brasswind catalog, the BP03 is approximately 1.22, the BP02 is approximately 1.14. The chart in the International Catalog I just pulled out (which may be an old one since it doesn't have a date in any obvious place), gives exactly the same measurements as WW&BW.

Best regards,

Thank you all for the information. I ordered a BP3 based on the information on the 2002 IMS mouthpiece chart which has the opening at 1.12. I was wondering why I had problems playing with anything but a 2.5 reed. Mystery solved!
