I think the older Buffers have a larger bore compared to moden Buffets, but still narrower than some Selmer bores - the CT has a .590 bore, the Series 9 has a .588 bore and the Series 9* has a .577 bore.

Most Boehm systems have similar joint lengths - the main variation is the top end of the top joint or the lower end of the lower joint which can vary in length from one model to another as well as make. My CTs and Series 9s have different length joints which was made apparent as I fitted out my Yamaha double case to take a set of Series 9 full Boehms - the lower joint on the CT full Boehm Bb is a shade shorter than a Series 9 full Boehm and the CT has the slightly longer top joint in comparison to the Series 9.
