Re: R13 modified with plateau keys

Two part question:

1) Why the desire for a Bis key on a clarinet if you can do a C# to D# chalumeau, or G#/A# clarion trill with the lowest right hand upper joint right side trill key, without having to move the left hand? Is it that the upper note on either trill isn't known for its great sound (not that, given the trill, people are doing much listening to either of the notes alone)

2) What if any downside accoustical issues etc. would there be to designing clarinets the way this one was retrofitted, such that if a finger does not cover a hole perfect, the note stil gets played (i.e. see saxophone.) It might it make life easier for players, no?

I know higher end flutes have holes in key pads that lower end flutes often dont. Is there an analogous principle at play here on clarinet?
