Re: Double register vent mechanism for Bb clarinet

You can simplify things and reduce the amount of adjusting screws by fitting a rocker-style mechanism where the vents are, similar to that seen on saxes and bass clarinets.

I designed a fully automatic 8ve mechanism for Howarth which they're using on several of their fully automatic instruments as it only has the one adjusting screw instead of four or more seen on most fully automatic 8ve mechanisms making it far more reliable and easier to keep in adjustment.
