This is usually true. However, I just picked up an old (3-digit serial #)
Conn bass clarinet from a school for repair which did not. It had only
four keys instead of five for the right little finger, and thus the key on
the bell was only an E. Variety is the spice of life, eh?

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
