Dont have a photo, but here's my description:

"A screwed up, over-designed, badly-executed, mechanical mess, which attempts to correct a minor technical difficulty on the clarinet and bass clarinet. The only worse possible mechanical disaster is the double action register mechanism which appears on 99% of all bass clarinets in use today."

Is that clear enough? Think it will make the "Harvard Dictionary of Music"?
