 Adding a vent hole to the bell of a bass clarinet?
Author: tdufka

Buffet uses a vent hole on the bell after the low-C tone hole, presumably to make the notes from G to low C speak better. In my experience the Privilege low C sounds muffled relative to the other lowest notes, and when the bell is twisted out of the way of the low C linkage such that the pad is at maximum distance from the tone hole, all of the lower notes have more resonance. The intonation of these notes seems to become more accurate as well.

Would there be any disadvantage incurred by adding a vent hole to the bell?

Where would this hole theoretically be placed?

What diameter should the hole be, and how far should the lip around this tone hole extend from the bell?
