 Re: Low E/F Pitch Correction Key

If you buy the Ridenour Lyrique 575BC (in A), you probably won't need the low F correction vent ... the acoustical design is such that the low F is not flat. Selmer, allegedly has a model that has similar design features ...

I play Ridenour B-flat clarinets and the low F and E is right on the money, so I assume his clarinets pitched in A are similar.

To be honest, I suspect that in the Lyrique design process, some tiny, tiny compromise was made in the sonority of the lowest notes to implement this worthwhile tuning improvement ... have no confirmation from it's designer ... but, I love the resonance and response of the lowest notes, no tendency to "honk" like some other clarinets ... so it's a win-win design, IMHO.

In addition, Ridenour's clarinet will cost less than 1/2 the price of a new Buffet ... or a Backun, which has an automatic vent coupled with the register key ... (cool!).

Lot's of wonderful choices out there ... get what you like!

I don't work for Tom Ridenour or get any compensation or deals ... just like his stuff because of the great performance and value.

Tom
