Hi all!

I've had a few players recently ask me to lower the baffles on their Links (current production).  The resulting tone is 'pure' (for lack of a better word) without that characteristic Link buzz, but it seems there is a point after which the natural resistance of a very low baffle design cannot be compensated for by the facing curve.

Are there any work-arounds anyone might care to suggest for achieving this result tonally without sacrificing projection or adding a significant amount of resistance?

I would add back a little more baffle.
