Re: About that Ridenour Bass Clarinet...

Short and Sweet Attempt #3:
A true 'double register vent ' design, REGARDLESS of how the throat Bb is produced, switches from one vent opening to a higher vent opening when moving from the clarion Eb to clarion E. Thus a linkage, with a second bridge key (if the instrument has a two-piece body), is required to travel up from the key operated by the right-hand ring finger.

The Amatis and French Selmer basses have this. The Buffet 1183 and 1193 do, however the less expensive 1180 has a single vent. All Leblanc/Noblet/Vito basses except for the 430S Leblanc (I believe that's the top-of-the-line low C model) only have a single register vent. I've seen pictures of SMLs only, I think they made both types.
