Re: new bass... appropriate MP and springs loosening

That's a very good question for which I too would like to hear a reasoned argument.

Compared to sopranos, bass clarinets have chunky keywork , with larger tone holes to seal and a good bit of interconnected mechanics which means that the compressing of several springs is inevitable in the operating of many of the keys. This all adds up to a good bit of key action which can never really be brought down to an ideal, and I think that that would be most people's take on this.
I'm guessing you stuck we the low Eb, because if you got a low C, then you wound now be wearying a complimentary John Deere baseball cap and thumbing through a tractor operating manual.... Ha-ha !
