Re: FYI: Rossi offering two types of throat Bb mechanisms

"With this model [1], if you do not clear well the thumb ring, then it affects the action of the Bb vent hole."

I have this model on my Bb clarinet, and this is the issue that is taking some time to get used to. I don't believe, however, that the adjustment is that onerous...in reality I simply have to be more accurate.

The mechanism greatly enables the production of the throat Bb. It sounds much more like the A key/Second Trill key fingering that often produces a Bb that sounds full. That being said: on my instrument the A key/Second Trill key produces a slightly better Bb overall.
