Thanks for the link, but all I see on that site is one tarogato model
with two different types of keywork -- which Steve also offers. He just
doesn't call them by two different names :-)

By clarinet d'amore you mean basset clarinet? The major manufacturers

Howarth's and probably others besides) will offer basset joints to go
with the upper joint of an existing A clarinet.
