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

This reply is about the the comment on the different Selmer bells. (I’m not sure why they decided one should have a vent hole though.)

I think there should be a different bell design for low C BCs vs low Eb. On my first Gen Kessler, the low C# was flat but the low C was in tune. I speculated that they just stuck a bell designed for a low Eb BC on it. The low C# tone hole was about 1/4” too low. I told Kessler about it and maybe it got back to the factory.

A year or so later I started seeing bells being sold on eBay with what looked like a higher positioned low C# tone hole. I blew up photos and took measurements and decided to purchase one. It was great! I sold my old one to offset the purchase some.
