Maybe a wider cut would extend lower.
Maybe an outside test without walls will show a better front to side

Maybe we can optimize a shotgun for bird song rather than voice.
Maybe a card mic would work better than an omni.
And what the hell does the diameter of the tube have to do with anything?

Let the play begin.
I hope someone trys this as well.
