 Re: Bridge key problems?

Gordon - My clarinet have the posts in slightly different heights, but in the situation you describe as ideal, where both sides of the mechanism are convex, it looks to me like it would work better (i.e. will allow more play in alignment for still perfectly working bridge) only if the keys are convex in a way where they are parallel to the body in the up position (i.e. when the rings are pressed down). Either that or the keys have identical movement which is maybe harder to build?
But either way, I think it is not that important because alignment of the two joints is already very important for comfortable hand/finger position (the relation between the hands). With good tenon cork and some cork grease (if necessary) it is very easy to assemble the joints to the right spot. IMO the tiny changes in alignment that are not beyond what is very easy to control when assembling the clarinet are smaller than the misalignment required to make the bridge to not work perfectly.
