Most speaker tubes just push in; some Selmers screw in.

Oh dear. Chimneys and bushings. My tonehole for the thumb has a
metal chimney. The other chimneys are not metal. The metal bushing
for the register key has a hexagonal border with a toroidal inner
portion that I guess forms the seal for the hole. What is up with the
hexagonal form of the speaker hole bushing? I am looking at a Selmer
CL210.
