Yes that's right but you can do something really funny: It works with my
Hammerschmidt Kingsor bassclarinet. If I take off my shoes and hold my foot
over the tonehole I can play a half tone deeper. So I can produce the deep c
of A bass Clarinet on my B bassclarinet.

I hope this is of any interest?!
