That's interesting because the recorder is the same. The bore diameter of my 
tenor recorder measures 22mm near (well, as near as I can measure it) the 
mouthpiece and 17mm at the bell.

There must be a whole volume of audio explanations for this, as the tenor 
recorder is almost as long as clarinets and flutes.

When I've finished all my PC jobs I'll have a go at googling for this 
information.

Cheers
