It's true that the tone holes were recut of necessity in the upper joint, so this could certainly be a factor along with the new bore.
As to the rubber material, Tom Ridenour goes into great detail on his website about his view that rubber is actually superior to wood, both acoustically and in terms of stability. When I asked Guy about maintenance of the new bore, he told me that it was now the most stable part of my instrument, and would likely outlast the rest of the horn. I have great respect for Mr Ridenour and Mr Chadash, with their comprehensive acoustic and technical knowledge of the instrument, and have been very pleased with their contributions to the art of the clarinet over the years.
At any rate, whether purely scientific or a bit more abstract, the improvement in this instrument continues to make me very happy.
