Re: Extension to Bb clarinet?

I feel like I'm going crazy- I can't find any evidence on the web, but I'm CERTAIN that about 20 years ago an Italian maker made a normal Boehm clarinet, but with an open tone hole at the bottom of the lower joint (between the E/B key and the bell, and beyond the "normal" E/B key). This was so that E/B emitted from a tone hole, not the bell. There was no key for this tonehole, so it couldn't be used for low E flat....
If anyone else has a memory of this, and the maker (Ripamonti?) it would be greatly appreciated. I remember thinking at the time "hey, you could just make an small joint to go between the lower joint and bell, and it would do the same thing" (at a time before the E flat joint extensions were available).
