 Clarinet Bore Obstruction.

Ok boys and girls, can any of you enlighten me as to why there is such an intrusive bore obstruction as pertaining to the speaker key hole. On my particular instruments Bb and A Clarinets this obstruction tube is more that one third of the way into bore the bore being approx 15mm in diam, a great little pull- through catcher if ever there was one. I realize that it is meant to prevent condensation from entering the tone hole but why does it have to be so long ? I once had a German Oehler Clarinet and it had a very well designed lever that went round and over to the top of the pipe thus removing the need for any obstruction into the bore. I have also looked at the Clarinets of other players and it does vary in length from about 3 mm to 6 mm, mine seems to be about 6mm. Even though I haven't approached my Clarinet repairer as yet I am tempted to ask him to take the damn thing out and shorten it to about 3mm and while he's at it to also round off the outside edge of it so that a pull- through will not get caught on it . Or is there some mysterious reason for such an obstruction.
