Thanks.
A few overblowers seem to prefer Golden Melodies. I have a guess as to why. I think that those sprues help create an airflow pattern marginally better for ob's. I plan to actually extend those sprues in certain directions in certain holes, and eliminate those sprues in others.
Thanks for the rapid response.
