Reverse taper

Please can someone explain with a diagram and possibly
the sizes at the various points the difference between


1- symphony shank. Reverse taper (bloke piece)
2 - normal shank eg found on Vb24 DW 2L etc

Found attached after a search but still a bit confused

The Symphony back-bore features an average size throat, but the throat (choke point) is buried well into the back-bore, with what APPEARS TO BE the choke point (at the bottom of the primary cup) being quite large. Thus there is a REVERSE TAPER down to the choke point. Finally, the exit bore is quite large. This back-bore style GREATLY assists in low range response YET (as the choke point is "average" size) withOUT being an "air hog".

The first picture in my C4 for sale post shows this, as best as can be seen without X-ray vision.

No X - Ray required just a simple sketch to show me what is going on inside the shank
