 Re: Bass Clarinet Register Keys (Single or Double)

If your bass is doing everything you ask of it then there is no problem.
Inherently however having a separate vent for the lower part of the clarion register and another for the upper tends to make a bass much more flexible when going over the break.
A single vent is a big compromise, even on a soprano clarinet, but the compromises become more severe with the lower pitched basses and even on some altos.
I have played a few single vent basses and usually found that the mid stave B is rather stuffy and slow to speak.
