I played for many years on a wick but changed to bach's on the advice of my
tutor at the time (Ian Macintosh, son of Jack). I had a matching pair
(trumpet & cornet) - to overcome the issue you mentioned, he used some
kind of tool on the cornet version to slightly increase the bore - it was
for me a happy combination.
