bb’ mechanism<\/strong>: This option solves a fundamental physical problem of the clarinet: it ensures an easier response and better intonation in the overblown register thanks to a smaller speaker vent, while at the same time improving the sound of the short bb’ thanks to an additional resonance hole. Clarinets with a bb’ mechanism can ideally do without a bell mechanism, as the bb’ mechanism allows a completely different tuning of the notes in the high and low registers.<\/p>\nbb’-mechanism with bb’-connector<\/strong>: The bb’-connector is an additional connection from the ring key of the left index finger to the bb’-resonance key. It is necessary for special fingerings in the high register (above c”’), which are played with an open thumb hole and with the register key pressed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"IMG](\"https:\/\/seggelke-staging.sech-dev.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_2096-scaled-e1707317201899.jpg\" "\\"IMG")
