Great stuff!
Interesting how he says that oboe makers narrowed the bore over years to increase projection in the lower notes.
It adds a bit of fuel to my theory that wide bore chanters weren’t originally made to be louder. I believe the bores were originally widened to be sharper to accommodate pitch inflation.
