Re: Extension to Bb clarinet?

It shouldn't cause any problems using an extension on a Bb or A clarinet considering they have been made with longer lower joints, either in the form of full Boehms or like the Buffet Elite or Orsi Verdi.

Low E is purposely designed to be flat on the majority of clarinets unless they have a low E/F vent fitted to correct it. Having an in tune upper register (mid stave) B is more favourable even though it's at the expense of the flat low E - if the low E was in tune, you'd have a painfully sharp upper B and that's not something that can be flattened easily.
