@Paul

the impact of air pocket on tuning depends location and mode. Second mode has a pressure node one third of the way down the air column, giving two regions where enlarging the bore will lower the pitch and two regions where it will raise the pitch. Yamaha designed CSG with shorter barrel to move pocket and reduce its impact on tuning.

Also german mouthpieces have longer tenon perhaps the differences you experienced due to that? The impact of air pocket btw MPC socket and tenon is often overlooked. I had seen the difference in length as much as 1.5mm and in some cases installing a tuning ring btw tenon and socket had improved overall tune.
