Re: Triple Vent Speaker Mechanism ...

Chris -

I explored the gerold-klarinetten site but found no other bass clarinet. Odd. I don't speak German, but there was no BC picture and the word bassklarinette didn't appear.

This looks like the standard triple mechanism for throat Bb plus two register vents, one on the neck and one near the top of the body, but there's not enough of the instrument visible to be sure. The third vent looks too large to be a register vent.

A bass with 3 register vents would have a quadruple mechanism, 3 register vents + throat Bb.
