I've opened up GM cover plates in the past but found NO perceptible
increase in volume both when playing or when listening to recordings
of playing. The only thing it accomplished was to weaken the cover
plates, making them more crushable. I don't bother doing this anymore.
If you still want to try opening them up, you have to first make cuts
so that a flap is created that can be bent back. Either Dave Payne or
Frank Franze posted a You Tube video that shows opening up the
coverplate of a Marine Band.
