Size Differences

How much bigger is the combined length of the upper and lower joints of a concert "A" Soprano clarinet over a concert "B flat" Soprano clarinet's same upper and lower joints comvbined.

I just loaned out my "A" to a friend and this got me thinking.

A justification of the answer in terms of pitch and/or math would be appreciated and hopefully come in a form similar to any of the following responses:

* A concert Bb Soprano clarinet is 11/12ths (I just made that number up) the size of a concert A Soprano clarinet.

* A concert A Soprano clarinet is 1 1/14 (I just made that number up) the size of a concert Bb Soprano clarinet.

* A concert Bb Soprano clarinet is 92% (I just made that number up) the size of a concert A Soprano clarinet.

* A concert A Soprano clarinet is 107% (I just made that number up) the size of a concert Bb Soprano clarinet.

You see I'm interested in the relative difference in size. Which method of mathematical proportion one expresses this in, fraction, percentage, decimal notation is all good by me!

TIA
