Re: basset clarinet questions

I'm surprised some basset clarinets don't even have a LH Ab/Eb lever - if you have to do a low D#/Eb-G#/Ab slur, then that's a must. Otherwise you'd have to jump your RH pinky from the low Eb key across to the Ab/Eb key.

Selmer basset clarinets had a LH Ab/Eb lever as well as a LH low Eb lever - the same key fitted to full Mazzeo systems.

I've seen a heavily modified Buffet basset clarinet which had other gadgets fitted (the work was done by Rene Hagmann) to effectively make it a full Boehm system basset clarinet.
