Re: Who is making clarinet mouthpiece blanks for resale?

I’ve spent a lifetime messing about with facings on my own mouthpieces and have sometimes thought I might get some blanks to see if I could produce anything worthwhile to sell. I did in fact get 4 Zinner blanks just before they packed up. My question with all these blanks, and to you Bob, is, do these blanks come with the correct bore or are they undersized to allow the finisher to bore to his own spec?

The Zinner blanks came with an undersized bore but I know someone who has the ability to make his own reamers and could bore them to size. I never got as far as doing that myself. There seem to be different opinions on what the taper of a French style conical bore mouthpiece should be anyway.
