 Intentional Leaks - for Chris P and Morrie Backun

Chris and Morrie -

I'd like to take the build quality discussion into a different area. What do you think about intentional leaks? Tom Henson wrote a very long piece on the Klarinet list about how Wurlitzer deliberately introduces tiny leaks that create the "Wurlitzer sound." When Tom eliminated them, the instrument became unplayable. See http://test.woodwind.org/Databases/Klarinet/2009/02/000380.txt. Tom wrote that Morrie Backun does similar things.

Similarly, bassoonists have written on the double reed list that when a bassoon is set up to seal perfectly, the sound is spoiled.

This is counter-intuitive to say the least. My Buffets play best when they're air-tight.

What's your take on it? If Morrie is following this, what can you tell us?

Ken Shaw
