Despite the misnomer, use of the term 'octave key' is probably
more prevalent ~ even among clarinetists in the know ~ than
'register key.' I guess you learned the correct terminology
from the start and developed the habit of using it. The rest
of us learned 'octave key' first and it stuck. This doesn't
mean we're unaware of the functional characteristics of clar-
inet acoustics. And I've never heard the key referred to as
a 'Bb' key.
