Re: Bb in the Sorcerer's Apprentice bass solo

I've never played this piece, but on my bass clarinet (same model as yours) the long Bb (low Eb + register key) is sharp and I would probably never use it if I wanted a good and in tune Bb. I use this fingering for an idea I'm basing some pieces on, but I've never used it when reading music. Both the regular Bb fingering and the side trill Bb are fine and possible to play in tune. There is only slight difference between them.
