Re: reverse lead pipe

The idea behind a reverse leadpipe (as I understand it) is that it extends the length of tubing before there is a break (the main tuning slide). It also gets rid of the little ridge created by the main tuning slide being inside the leadpipe. The removal of this ridge makes the air and sound flow uninterrupted for a long period of time which removes a bit of back pressure caused by the ridge.
