Eb soprano register tube size?

Author: Chris J  Date:   2011-05-03 07:43 I am overhauling an old Couesnon Eb soprano. It probably dates from the early 1930s. This is the first Eb I have had (it was a whim and ripe for repairing). There is no register tube, and what was there looked very tone hole like, so I carried on regardless. The instrument didn't play before I overhauled it, and now it seem clear that it does indeed need a register pip as the pinch Bb plays nearly a C! So I am looking for some dimensions to experiment around. The diameter of the hole is 4.6mm so giving external diameter of the tube. What would be a good starting point for internal diameter and protrusion into the bore? Chris
