Re: Venting height and pitch ?

Thank you all for the enlightening comments .

I'm assuming that the little tubes for register key venting were originally"pipes"....but were found to be too long that way, and so were all filed down untill they were just " pips"...Ha-ha!

I didn't know this term....you learn something new every day!

So venting heights here may disputably effect performance ...I'll experiment with that .....I guess the proof is in the pudding .

That pitch variations are more notable in the high notes does make sense.
I had been entertaining the notion that this seeming difference between venting height influence on pitch that I was perceiving, was because air was venting under higher pressure towards the top of the instrument.
