Hmm. I would have agreed with you two hours ago, now I don't any longer...
I "did" a German Eefer in this afternoon, and I thought that the position of the F#/C# tonehole (i.e. the tonehole opened by the F#/C# lever) should be roughly between the two adjacent toneholes and of similar size. It isn't; it's much smaller and closer to the upper tonehole. This works surprisingly well, I gather it's more of a vent than a "proper" tone hole, and it isn't stuffy at all. (That instrument had other issues to compensate with that...arrgh)
