Well I think that's the point of these threads. When you put together the right reed for you with the right instrument for you, then you get the sound that's right for you.
Matching all these little details makes all the difference.
And so, bore shape is a factor. Especially when trying new instruments. You know why an oboe gets blown out? I imagine it is concerned with the bore, or more importantly, changes in the bore with the expansion of wood over time.
Bore shape is not the only factor in creating a good instrument, but it is a factor in finding trends in instruments that are right for you.
Unfortunately, it seems that this particular topic is not as thought provolking as I had hoped. We've all overstudied the subject of manufacturers, scraping, break in periods, etc... I thought this might be an interesting new addition.
Oh well, I like the other topics, maybe I'll try again on a new subject.
Thanks
