RE: Double register key for bass clarinet

Author: Ken Shaw

A couple of years ago, I saw a video of a German orchestra (I forget which) that had a close-up of the bass clarinetist, who was playing a German-system instrument. The automatic register mechanism stuck out a good 6-8 inches from the upper joint. Presumably that was to get more leverage into the mechanism, to make it lighter and more reliable. It looked weird, but anything to make it work better would be welcome.

Have any of the repair techs on the list worked on one of these?

Best regards.
