Re: Mini-review: Amati low-C bass clarinet

Velly interesting, Dave, good description of Spiegel-izing, and Gplden-izing, I also Berger-ize all of my horns, and do a bit on others! Having a 3/4 Full Boehm '70s Selmer [no "fork" Eb/Bb] to low Eb [only], what does the Amati have? Alt. Ab/Eb, Art. C#/G#, must have Low Eb, what for register [and throat Bb] mechanisms?? Yamaha has a couple of {US} patents on reg/Bb mechanisms, the latest I know of, but haven't seen or heard of their use. If you want to analyze/compare, and cant find the pats on USPTO [they may be about to expire in the US, other co's??], I'll look them up for you. Have you discussed the Amati on "bass-clarinet@Yahoogroups.com", with those pro's, yet? TKS, Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
