Let me add one more thing about that mechanism. On my woodeden
full Boehm instruments the key that activate the mechanism as
well as the keys of the mechanism that cover the tone hole are on
the lower joing. You could not tell that from the metal clarinet
because the body was in one piece. But on an instrument with
upper and lower joints, the activation mechanism and the key that
responds to the activation is not where you would expect it to
fall when you take the instrument apart.

And possibly even more important, it allows the hole to be better
placed
both acoustically AND for keeping it out of the condensation
stream.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
