Re: About that Ridenour Bass Clarinet...

The Selmer used in my Band, the California State Bakersfield Community Band is SN A72XX, made about 1978. The register key controls two holes, one on the neck, and one about 1 or 2 inches from the top of the upper joint. The lower one is used for the Bb and for the long B, C, and D. In other words this is the common so-called 'double register key', pretty similar to my SML. Since this is not real new, it doesn't give me an example of the 'triple mechanism' some of you have mentioned. (I forgot to take pictures...If anyone cares I could easily post photos of the SML.)

To return to the original topic, the nomenclature in advertisements could be better. Notice that the Buffet pages talk about the 1180 having a 'double octave vent on the body with a high Bb key'..... ??? and the 1183 and 93 have a double octave vent? An 'octave' vent? On a clarinet?

I'm done for a while on this topic. I need to practice so that I can play ANY bass clarinet tolerably.
