TSH length

If one has made the TSH a bit to long is it OK to move the bird a bit closer

Folks, I have a question about the physics of the TSH. On a medium size flute, the conventional wisdom is to make it 3/16" to 7/32" North to South. Why would... 		Bob Grealish

Hi Bob, My experiments are consistent with Mike's theoretical presentatiion. I have investigated flue widths from 1/4" to 7/8". For all of them, the best sound...

Thanks Edward--it's nice to cases where the theory agrees with practice. Just to point out the likely origin of the 7/32 TSH length (if the theory is correct),...

Mike, Your comment on maintaining back pressure could well be the explanation of why some makers prefer to reduce flue depth as the flue gets wider. ...

Thanks to all of you who weighed in on this question. It confirms my suspicion that the TSH length isn't too dependent on the width. I have been using a...

It is better to fit a thin piece of wood to be glued to the North wall of the TSH. I have even used wood filler and filled in enough to move the back wall a ...
