For simplicity's sake, the shape of clarinet tone-holes is round (I'm not referring to their taper). Yet wouldn't it be possible to build instruments that are better in tune and that have better response if more irregular shapes were used? Bassoons have all sorts of irregularly- shaped holes; one of the reasons, I suppose, that bassoons are so expensive. Drilling the holes would be, needless to say, more complicated, but if the final result made a significant difference.... Just a thought.
