 Re: Mouthpiece for Boosey & Hawkes 8-10

You can make a pretty good test to see if your mouthpiece has a 1010 bore by either measuring with a guage "or at a pinch by inserting your little finger" as the bore should be virtually parallel all the way to the point where it meets the wind slot.

Windcraft in Maidenhead also have the reamers to open up a french bore to 1010 size and to 926 for that matter.

Most B&H standard bore i.e. non 1010 instruments will work reasonably with many standard mouthpieces but for optimum intonation should have a 926 bore.
It's not the actual end diameter that is different but the rate of change in taper along the bore, which for a 926 is about half way between the typical French and the 1010 taper.

For the record the "B&H official" diameter of the 926 based bores is 0.593" or 15.05mm. Some models made specifically for the US market did have slightly smaller bores.
