rings essentially lengthen the bore. Using the rings will increase the
volume of the bore and lower the pitch of the probelmatic area, but will
also lowers the throat tones. Most R-13 A clarinets are flat on throat Bb

I think he meant it decreases the overall volume of the bore RELATIVE TO
pulling out the barrel WITHOUT using tuning rings, in which case he is
quite correct.
