This thread is great - thanks again all.
Resonance affected by neck shape, air flow etc - forgive my ignorance
but does the presence of a bit of foam in the top of the split stock,
put there I assume to prevent either seasoning escaping into chanter or
loose reed escaping into bag, not affect airflow more than bag shape?
Does this still apply if the foam plug is in place?
And stitching leather is easier for some jobs when it's wet, and for
turning it inside out enormously so.
All ye best,
Richard.

Hi Richard,
Other slight annoyances occuring when messing with bags/neck is
"resonance" or a change in the resistance to airflow.
Some bag/neck shapes give rise to top A and top B sounding flat at
which point the unsuspecting will start chopping or scraping reeds
