Re: Stuffy Bb

"Leblanc came out with their solutions [quite good IMHO], by putting ?half? of the register tube outside of the cl body, decreasing the "intrusion" into the bore, quite satisfactory to me."

My LL full Boehm had the half-in-half-out speaker bush with the large domed top (similar in shape to the kind found on German systems), but I had loads of trouble with gurgling on normal throat Bb AND using the overblown low Eb as Bb as well as condensation got into the tube too easily - so I recut the recess and sunk it deeper into the body so it's almost flush with the surface of the joint (and obviously much further into the bore) and this has cured the gurgles. And having the cranked end to the speaker key, the speaker pad is now of a much thicker set and resembles Mount Fuji with it's steeply bevelled edges.
