I doubt the coating would have any affect.  There is certainly no good acoustic reason it would, and unless testing shows it then there is no reason I can see it would make any difference.

The ones Vern conducted, yes.

Agreed, but a bellows which provides constant pressure or suction would be significantly better than the tester.
