Re: Tonehole undercuts

Author: Caroline Smale

One of the significant factors of undercut toneholes is that they behave differently with changes of the fundamental harmonic and thus register, so enabling tuning variances between the registers to be improved.

Of course the old makers recognised this long before complicated mathematical / acoustic analysis and computer simulations became available.

Undercutting also allows the effect of enabling a smaller tonehole that can be physically covered by a human finger to act as an acoustically much larger tonehole.

etc etc
