You're talking about a BASSET extension? Hm... Well.. MAYBE- but it
might be the same issue I had with Bb and A... Weird.

I'm not sure if I like this idea-
I own a Bb and an A R-13. One time I accidentally put the A bottom on
the Bb top- intonation was terrible and some notes wouldn't speak. I
don't think it's just the bottom that is a little extended for A
clarinet. I think the top has slight variations as well.

Apropos this, I heard from Jon Steward a couple of weeks ago that
Howarths will soon be providing an alternative bottom (RH) joint for
their A clarinet. This means that you will be able to buy an extended
half-clarinet to go with your regular instrument's top (LH) joint, and
just switch bottom joints in order to play the Mozart concerto and
whatever other pieces may require the low notes.
There's already been a little party to show off the prototype, but
unfortunately I was out of the country, and haven't played the
instrument yet.
