I saw for a couple of year that some Buffet's clarinets were build
with a bell hole. This was done on the Bb Elite model and on the alto
clarinet. But I don't know if Buffet is selling them yet.

The Buffet model 1503 alto clarinet which was introduced about 3 years ago
has an open tone hole in the bell. When covered (by a bare foot) the
instrument sounds an in tune low D.
