Re: Selmer Privilege Bass Clarinet

Ken, there is no seperate vent for throat Bb on the Selmer Privilege bass clarinet. There are only two vents. The vent for throat Bb is the same one for the B to Eb notes. So there is only the body vent and the neck vent.

Impossible to say for sure without seeing it, but Ken is probably right about the problem. It is likely that the mechanism is out of adjustment and the neck vent remains opens when playing the body vent notes.

Another (less likely) possibility is a leak around the area of the right hand notes, which often affect the upper register far more than the lower register.
