 Bass Clarinet Register Keys (Single or Double)
Author: Hank Lehrer

Hi All,

Thanks for all the great answers on my question about whether a Yamaha YCL 221 III or Ridenour RCP-925e bass clarinet would be my best purchase choice. However, one more question please.

The Ridenour and all professional bass clarinets usually have a double register key. Is such a mechanism something that is a must to have on a bass clarinet? On my current bass, I have just a single register key but can get all over the instrument pretty well.

I will be doing solely concert band, pit, and some limited ensemble work on bass.
But am I missing out on something by not having double register keys?

Cheers,

Hank
