I guess I need a precision "plug type" bore gauge ... it's hard for me to get reliable and confident bore measurements on MPs using my digital calipers, which are good to 1/100 of a mm ... depends on how you hold the gauge ...

It seems to me that the old plain vanilla Vandorens (non-13s) have a smaller bore and also, IMHO (or imagination), play a bit better in tune, with a selected barrel.

The Reserve X0 (441) seems to have the same bore as the top of my R13 (and also the stock Buffet barrel) and this combination works good for me ... but it seems this MP has a little thinner quality of sound than most Vandorens ...

I've just gone to more closed facing in recent years and most of my friends both amateur, student and pros are using something more like an M13 to 5RV facing ... a local music store sells zillions of M13s, Fobes Debuts and Hite Premiers to students and others ... you can't find a B45 or M30 ...

But is does seem that "across the pond", MP facings might be more open ... you'd think the perceived stereotypical loud, raucous, brazen American players would be using the open pieces ... (perhaps we Americans are more restrained and refined than given credit ...)
