Do you know what the diameter of the bore is at its smallest and largest?

[dan chaffee]

My chanter's bore is 19mm at the bottom and 4mm at the narrowest part of the throat, just below the reed seat.

That sounds pretty decent. I haven't measured a Galician, but it's similar to my Asturian, although the Asturian is a tiny bit narrower at the top (~3.66 mm) and wider at the foot (~22.93 mm).

Does the bore increase in a linear manner? (Is the line between 4 mm and 19 mm straight?)

[dan chaffee]

Yes, It's staight and smooth.
