Brendan,
 
     Does a Bach 7CW have a 10 backbore?  Somebody said it was a 117.  It certainly doesn't feel tight.
 
    We've also talked about 3E, 3D. do those have whatever D cup and Ecup backbores.  Also, do you have to special order a 2E  or 2D  or a 1 1/2D  or 1 1/2 E?.
 
     And what about the throats and entrances into the throats.  It seems like each bowl size and depth would require a throat entrance to balance the particular cup and backbore.
 
Are these questions a little technical for the more standard bach pieces?  Would we be better off talking about throat entrances, double cups etc with the Storks or Gary Radke and those guys?
 
Perhaps we need to work out the math here once and for all.  Let's see,
 
7C +10 backbore +27 throat= 44.    YES the answere is 44.   I win.  I win.  Double 'c  High H  wooo hooo.
