Your question is a good one but I think that any answer would ignore the
fact that there is a major difference between the clarinet and basset
horn that has not once been explored, including the topic at hand. =

Basset horns (at least contemporary ones) are plateau instruments and
clarinets (in general) are not. =

So what effect do the plateau keys have on the sound character of the
notes in the left hand and how much of this effect might be attributed
to closure of pads by the right hand??

In effect, there is an entire parameter that has to be brought into this
discussion once you begin to compare clarinet and basset horn sound
characters. Do you agree?
<

You didn't answer the question Dan ... which George properly =

formulated as the comparison between a soprano clarinet with a =

standard joint and the same instrument with a basset extension joint. =

Your Mozart thingy, y'know <grin>.
