Re: gurgling low register

I've got a Selmer (Signet Soloist) 104 that I use as my outdoor oboe, but on mine I reamed out the bore on both upper and lower joints with a Howarth XL reamer.

I honestly can't remember how it played with the original bore as I did all the modifications on it before it was rebuilt, but it doesn't gurgle or bubble on the low notes.
