>> The Buffet/Selmer basses had a "triple" mechanism <<

Just a correction, mostly a semantic/definition matter, it is not a triple mechanism, it is a double register key mechanism that is operated by a different key, the right hand G/D key. Until you move up to the clarion E it is all the same, no change in that mech from throat Bb to the lower clarion (up to D#).

What you referred to as "double register mechanism" is usually referred to as single register since only one vent hole is for a register change, the other is just a tone hole for Bb.

Some bass clarinets do have an actual triple mechanism, meaning there are two "switches" along the range.

From vague memory, Leblanc did have a model with a true double register mech, meaning it had two vent holes for the clarion register, but it's so long since I've seen it that I might remember wrong...
