Quoting Francis Wood <oatenp...@googlemail.com>:
In response to your question about unevenness at those drill points and the effect on standing waves, I strongly doubt (and this is just a guess) that it would have any effect on standing waves. Consider that the volume of the cavity caused by a tiny drill point is virtually nothing compared with the volume of the huge cavity that lies immediately opposite; the tone-hole itself.
That would be my understanding also. It is a matter of scale. Barry To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
