 Re: Bridge key problems?

I agree, clarnibass, that in some respects this is all a bit pedantic.

But one correction...

You wrote, "....the situation you describe as ideal, where both sides of the mechanism are convex, it looks to me like it would work better..... "

I described the upper key's linkage face as either flat and tangential, or ideally, CONVEX and concentric.

The bassoon set-up is very different. With such short fulcrums, and all that torsion in the long keys, and especially if the spring is included in the linkage, very little closing force is transferred to the whisper key. Which is just as well, otherwise the pad, closing on such a tiny tone hole, would quickly cut through. Fortunately that pad only NEEDS very little closing pressure to seal.

With the clarinet keys we are talking about, the ideal would be if the two pads involved close with EQUAL pressure.
