Peter,
My idea is a simplified (or semi automatic) version of the fully automatic triple vent speaker mechanism Oehler system basses have - the middle vent (a new addition in between the existing vents) is to help with the E, F, F# and G in the upper register so they can be attacked cleanly without them kicking back, especially the F#.
Though I'm not sure what size the middle vent tube should be.
I'll drill my speaker tube out to see how it affects these.
Back in about 30 mins, I'm going in for the kill!
Right, I took the speaker tube up to 3.5mm but it made F# and G impossible, so I've filled it in with wax to 3mm again for the meantime. I'll have to get some better reeds to try it with next time, but I can melt the wax out to see how the 3.5mm hole works with a slightly harder reed.
