 RE: undercut tone holes...
Author: Gordon (NZ)

Emms I think the two situations are quite different. This is the way I in my ignorance see it:

For the tone hole I imagine air is changing abruptly from vibrating up and down the bore, to vibrating in and out of the tone hole, which means it has to suddenly change direction at the bottom of the tone hole.

By contrast there is no DIRECTION change across a narrow gap at a tenon joint.
I imagine the air easily vibrating across this gap with only minor turbulence.

Imagine deep water flowing down a river. If you cut a narrow trench across the river bed it will hardly affect the river flow. But if the river is made to turn a right angle then there will be major turbulence, reducable by making a less abrupt bend.

Air is a fluid and behaves similarly to water.

Nevertheless there are players who swear by spacer washers in tenon joints.
