>> You might be right but I am not convinced of that. <<

Not convinced of what...? It's either that they decided to keep the smaller tone hole for the Forte, or they specifically decided to have it in this size. I guess there is a third option...

>> The fact that on the Forte C clarinet the long C tonehole was half the size of the pad and padcup suggests that the inexplicably small C tonehole was not by design. <<

I definitely disagree. If not by design, then why? A complete mistake? Made to at least several of the clarinets? Does anyone have a Forte without the small tone hole? If Amati made a mistake, did the Forte quality control not notice?! I don't think this is a real possiblity.

IMO you are giving far to much significance to the size of the key cup. Very often pad cups are made in the same size to save money in manufacture. Maybe also to look better. It's not important that the tone hole is smaller. An example is the double F/C keys on Buffet Prestige bass clarinets. The extra vent hole is much smaller and key cup is identical in size. On almost all clarinets many keys have the same size key cup with different size tone holes. On saxophones too, some keys are much bigger than their tone holes in comparison with others. It's not strange at all. If the E/B key cup was smaller because of the smaller tone hole I'd think it was strange.
