Re: Selmer RI intonation

Provided the bore diameter or taper at the top end is correct, that shouldn't have any impact on the tone or intonation. The bore diameter and taper (if it is tapered) can be taken from the inside diameter of the metal liner.

Delrin or ebonite would be fine for this bore sleeve - or nickel silver if you want to preserve some authenticity. If you want to make it a permanent fixture, it can be hidden with a metal tenon cap.

On later BT, CT and Series 9 clarinets, the nickel silver top tenon cap extends into the top joint bore by a considerable amount rather than only covering the tenon ring and the end grain, but not intruding into the bore.
