Subj: Re: [kl] Gap in tenon socket between upper and lower joint

Walter,
Actually, I was the first one to bring up this topic a few weekes ago. But anyways...do you think Buffet may put this gap here for a reason? Perhaps to lower the clarion G and improve the 12ths is this area. The increase in volume would have a greater effect on the 12th rather than the fundamental, wouldn't it. I'm not sure. How and why do you think filling the gap improved your tone and response? I can see this gap being used to adjust pitch in the area of the clarinet (to an extent). Any opinions?
