"I don't think that'll have much effect on the tuning - the tonehole is already very short in height as it is."
I don't mean counter sinking the hole; I mean counter sinking the wood around the pad.
See Example 7 of the following link-
http://www.clarkwfobes.com/Tuning%20article/Tuning%20the%20Clarinet%20for%20PS.htm
I am thinking about this only because that pad is so deep and the lack of space for the air to leave might affect it in a different (better?) way than just the hole. Normally, I just make the hole bigger, but in this case...?
Or... I could try a thinner pad that allows more space between the pad and the wood. That would make the travel distance a hair bigger, too.
hmm...
