"Beveling G/D tone hole has nothing to do with the response of the G/D. It will affect the A/E and not the G/D"
The G/D tonehole has a lot to do with the response and tone of G/D, as the notes G and D issue from it - hence it being the G/D tonehole.
Yes it may be covered by what is conveniently called the F/C key, but the tonehole is still the tonehole that G and D issue from, no matter what name the key that closes it is called - a note can't issue from a closed tonehole, so toneholes are named after the notes that issue from them, and not by the open standing keys which close onto them.
F/C issues from the lowest tonehole on the clarinet, and E/B issue from the bell. A/E issue from the RH3 tonehole chimney.
