Please do not refrain from that lovely refrain...

Your pet peeve is acoustics and science, my pet peeve is urban myths about reed making and embouchure, but we're both about bringing reason back to the practice. I have read others who seek the same.

Interesting what you say about bore irregularities being beneficial. I return to my 1921 Pan American student (beginner?) model. The most irregular innards I've ever seen (African blackwood), but its tone is beautiful and never a hint of instability - not even with mediocre reeds.

Of course, its tuning is not enviable, however it is predictable and consistant. Definitely better than contemporary beginner instruments (Bundy, Linton...)
