Subj: [kl] Joseph Rabbai Clarinets

I attended the New York Metropolitan Opera's performance of Mefistophele
last night and was curious about the clarinets used. During the
intermission I walked up to the pit and noticed that the bass clarinet, and
all the smaller clarinets seemed to have MANY more keys than a regular or
even a full Boehm instrument, especially on the upper joint. Joseph Rabbai
was playing principal but I could not catch his eye to ask him. Does
anyone know?
