Dave,

About your question "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?"

You are not a sax player, right? As a doubler, having a BIS key on a clarinet would add some very nice fingering options for several passages that are hard to do with the sliver or a trill key. Most saxes have a BIS key.

Add an articulated C#/G# and numerous other fingerings come into play. One of my bass clarinets has this key and if you get into G or A concert for a show, many rapid passages are much easier. Most saxes have an articulated G#.

So you can see that for someone that is a doubler, the absence of a BIS on clarinet seems odd. And at times I catch myself trying to use an articulated C#/G#on clarinet and I do not have such a device.
