Yes, I remember putting just about 1/2" of tape under the reed, so the reed would be in contact with the table near the start of the lay- (it worked, anyway).
I honestly cannot see the point in a hollow table, when the problem of a bent reed can be so easily solved............ when it comes to calculating and manufacturing the lay and tip opening, the curve would be joining on to a reverse curve instead of a straight line, so one could ask- where does the curve of the lay end and the hollow table begin, and anyone asking for a specific lay would not be getting what they thought they were getting if they didn't know that the mouthpiece would have a hollow table.
As Vytas points out, the hollow can cause leakage.
Confused? I certainly am....... H&P
