Re: Venting height and pitch ?

I'm guessing here, but I think the pad height effect being more pronounced near the top of the instrument has to do with how differences in frequency are more perceptible the higher you go (this is why high instruments like E-flat clarinet and piccolo have tuning issues).

For the bass register vent, it has indeed affected response for me. My bass has a double register vent, and I had to make it so the neck vent opens further, in order to get the affected notes to speak properly.
