I'm looking at the pictures of the keys and I really don't see why it wouldn't be possible to play the B without pressing the C (or maybe I misunderstood and you are not talking about the Marigaux in the pictures). It looks to me from the pictures that it would be possible.

The left hand levers on my clarinet (not Mariguax) doesn't have pins, (afaik) doesn't have magnets, doesn't have springs, and it isn't rattly. The reason (from what I can tell) is the keys are designed so the proportion of the weight on each side of the pivot prevents the rattle. Of course each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages...
