Peter,

Doreen Ketchens, the famous New Orleans clarinetist who plays jazz on Royal St. in the French Quarter, has been playing the same 1.08 mm marbled Reserve mouthpiece models you do, ever since her two Kaspars got "blown out." Rick Hawley at Rice University helped develop that model and he regards it as a versatile medium open facing that can straddle the demands of both jazz and classical music.
USA players have their own reference points for clarinet openings that go back to the old Selmer HS*, which was more closed than 1 millimeters. In the 1950s in the USA Selmer HS* pieces were ubiquitous. The Selmer HS was even more closed, and the Selmer A facing (used by Manuel Valerio in the Boston Symphony in the 1950's) was open maybe barely 0.88 mm at the tip! Now that's close even by German standards (but a much shorter lay than the German). Don Montanaro of Philadelpha set the opening of the Vandoren M13 at about 1.005 mm, just barely over 1 millimeter, and the opening of the M13 lyre at 1.02 mm. Ralph McLane's Chedeville was open 1.00 mm and Harold Wright's about 1.01 or 1.02 mm. Gigliotti's Ched was under 1 millimeter at the tip. Clark Fobes's personal facing is 0.96 mm. Against this backdrop, you pretty much must have 1.02 mm or less at the tip to consider the mouthpiece a "close" faced one. But if you forget tradition and just look at what people are playing in US orchestras today, almost anything under 1.10 mm could loosely be called "close."
