 Re: Bass Clarinet Register Keys (Single or Double)

I have played a few single vent basses and usually found that the mid stave B is rather stuffy and slow to speak.


This is exactly my experience on my 221-II, and why my next bass will be an upgrade to a double vent system. I only get a limited number of opportunities to play bass over a year and up until now the long B wasn't that much of a problem, but I recently had to play some bassoon cues which clustered around the bridge and trying to get that B to speak was really frustrating. I'm definitely thinking about a low C Ridenour — but not without taking a trip to Texas.

EDIT:

Reading David Spiegelthal's post, maybe I should just try playing a lot of 221s.
