hole size for small flutes???

Hi Folks,  I'm making a shakuhachi 390mm long (approx. 1.3 size)  with interior utaguchi diameter of 20mm.  Ro right now is a 'G'.  Any suggestions on diameters for the holes?  Are they proportionately smaller than the typical 10-11mm holes of a 1.8?  Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Hey Tom,
I would start them out at 3/8" except for #3 at 1/4" (room to enlarge).
Bet it'll be  a screamer!
