Re: Venting height and pitch ?

I've found affect on pitch to be small, but affect on stuffiness large. I agree the supposedly larger effect on the high register is mostly perception.

Regarding the register key, it must be just the right height and diameter. Too small, and it won't break the fundamental. Too large, and notes will be airy, resistant and unstable. I had to modify the octave pip on a bass saxophone because the pip diameter was slightly too large. Inserting a thin sleeve fixed it.
