don'tcha have to cut about 50% of the material out of the tube, ie wide
slots not skinny? I could see your saw blades won't appreciate that,
but take a look at a Sennheiser MKH70 or even the ME64 and you see the
slots seem to be as wide as the non-slots. Might help the frequency
response. There agan I know jack about the maths - it's just an
observation from every shotgun mic I've ever seen.
