Ah. OK, the attached photo should show you that. This is from a Series 10 Bb.

As a bonus, you can also see the "sliding clutch" which is not present on the Bundy models, since it was an emergency aid for players with the established habit of leaving RH fingers down when playing throat A, G# or G.

It was assumed that a Bundy user would be a student who would never develop that habit, since obviously it would lead to wrong notes being played.

When the clutch is in the normal (withdrawn) position (as in the photo), the Mazzeo mechanism functions as described previously. But when it is slid into place by pressing on the knurled end, the Bb trill key becomes rigidly coupled to the pad, as it is on a standard Boehm clarinet. Then the pad no longer opens unless the trill key itself is used.

This of course defeats the entire purpose of the Mazzeo mechanism, but it's better than not being able to play the clarinet at all.

--best regards
