In an article on his website Peter Eaton refers to how the former principal clarinet of the London Symphony Orchestra, Roy Jowitt, at one time played on a mixed pair of clarinets. One was a 1010 Bb and the A an Imperial 926. He used a 1010 mouthpiece on both. Peter says "This works satisfactorily, although the twelfths at the top end of the tube, for example E/B and F/C would be wider than ideal but a gifted player like Roy would have had no problems in coping with that." TonyF seems to describe a similar circumstances but using a 926-style mouthpiece, with tapered bore. It would seem tuning is the reason for the parallel bore on the 1010 mouthpiece.
