Re Graham's post 5-10-2018 parallel bore.
It's quite likely that an "oversize" tapered bore might work on a 1010, but would result in a large mismatch between m/p exit and barrel entry bores.

It is also a fact that the exact bore size at these points high in the bore interact with the higher harmonics of each tone, so also affecting the relative tuning of the altissimo compared to lower registers.
A tapered vs parallel bore would give different relationships.

The 1010 large bore and parallel m/p design stems in part from the practices of Belgian makers of the late 1800s - early 1900s. Their instruments were of remarkably high quality and probably stemmed from empirical designs evolved over the years.
Many of those makers probably inherently worked to sound acoustical theories without actually having the tools to develop the theoretics.
