Absolutely fascinating.

My instruments (Martels c.1905 - 1915) appear to have very marked undercutting particularly on the lower joint. They are, of course, straight bore, 14.9 mm, and have a light fairly quiet but transparent sound. Do you know what these makers were trying to achieve through undercutting, as they certainly were not aiming for the tuning standards of the modern polycylindrical instrument?
