Your expertise and willingness to share it is much appreciated. As long as your sharing all your secrets maybe you could also address the issue of channel volume. This was touched on recently where you explained how you stuck some sort of wedge in the higher pitched reed holes. It can't run the full length of the channel else it doesn't overblow.

How long is your wedge relative to the channel? Do you place it near the front or midway in the channel? Thanks in advance.
