This is a really interesting discussion. Thanks, Drew, for starting it and Rob for the really insightful observations. Changing the bell is effectively changing the bore. Similarly, changing the staple also participates in this.
It would be cool if someone used the same reed and did recordings on a whole bunch of different instruments, just to compare the sound. Naturally, the same instrument will sound differently using different reeds and/or played by different people. But a comparison is still interesting.
Ludwig Frank makes different bores for his own (L.F.) oboes than those for the Mönning Albrecht Mayer (Platinum) model. He says his are more traditional whereas the Platinum are more French.
Thomas Orlowski makes a whole bunch of different bells form many makes of oboe (e.g. Mönning, Marigaux).
