 Re: Moving the register vent

Hello Skygardener,

Three suggestions to add to clarnibass' great thread.

I almost bought an Eb clarinet (from Greg Smith) that had had its' register vent repositioned by Guy Chadash for intonation purposes. So I imagine he would be helpfull to contact with those questions.

If you go to David Blumberg's website you can investigate the Galper mechanism which lengthens the register vent (improving the qualities of the throat Bb) on the outside of the clarinet. The site also says that the mechanism allows the clarinet to be more free blowing, and aids in registral transition.

http://www.mytempo.com/galper_register_key.htm

There have also been a couple of other threads authored by those experimenting with the vent that you could find through the search function.

I personally can add that shortening the register vent by a small amount can improve response in the upper clarion, and well as connections into and out of that register of the clarinet.
