I had an Elliot 114M9 throat opened up to the size of a Schilke 60 and the Throat of a 114L9 opened up to the size of a Schilke 59. The man at the Schilke said upon examining the mouthpieces that the backbores weren't that far off from the schilkes so the backbores were left as is. The larger throats gave the Elliots a broader sound, especially in the loud dynamics and also help the intonation of the 114M9. This modification is one of the few mouthpiece modifications that worked out as well as I hoped.
