Hello, I have made some soundports. Both in guitars and ukuleles, but mostly in the latters. The results have been variying. The soundports were both in solid wood and laminate sided instruments.
One ukulele where the soundports diameter exceeded more then 50% of the depth of the ukulele, it seemed to give it a little too boomy bass. Donīt know though if that was the reason. (Instrument in mahogany, solid top laminate sides and back.)
Sometimes and most times I have been very pleased. Even lots of high quality luthier built instruments today are made with a soundport. For two of the instruments I have made doors to be able to close the soundport.
(I wonder how a soundport will affect the value in a vintage instrument.)
