What you're doing is effectively adding mass to the speaking length, requiring more string tension to get the pitch back up. This increases the break%. Since the basic problem with these things, among others, is a low break% in the low tenor, this makes it less bad. > It is really, "less bad" than before.

I'll be experimenting as the weather changes... Let the owner know what you're doing, and maybe after a couple of panic service calls, funds will become available to put in some wrapped bichords down there.
