德式按鍵 (Model 2000) 與法式按鍵 (Model 3000)
低音單簧管的設計方式可以根據喜好使用德國按鍵系統或法國按鍵系統來訂製，兩種的製作技術同樣專業。
Based on the German bore, we have developed an innovative concept for this world-class bass clarinet. Due to its new scale and its specially developed shape, the newly designed neck has a major influence on the instrument’s sound and intonation. The novel vent hole mechanism no longer requires a valve in the neck. It impresses by having an interference-free automatism with a whisper key mechanism. A metallic elbow is added to the lower joint to fit an upward-facing wooden bell. The innovatively designed and well-proportioned mechanic parts result in a compact key positioning – perfect for all hand sizes. Controlling the thumb keys via newly developed levers, designed to have the shortest possible lifting point, makes for a quicker and more precise playing of the four lowest notes.

„Variante III“
Four thumb keys for E flat / D / D flat / C; two options to play low E flat, E flat lever.
Optional addition: b‘ / c“sharp trill (articulated b‘ / c“sharp), low C/C sharp trill on the C lever, f’’ sharp / g’’ sharp trill (articulated f’’ sharp / g’’ sharp).
„Variante IV“
The basset register is playable by using the right pinkie (E flat and D), the left pinkie (second option to play D), as well as the thumbs (C sharp and C), similar to standard bass clarinets with French fingering. This model has a coupling from low F and below to G, therefore only requiring one pinkie or thumb for the low range.
Optional addition: b‘ / c“ sharp trill (articulated b‘ / c“ sharp), f’’ sharp / g’’ sharp trill (articulated f’’ sharp / g’’ sharp), additional E flat key button (playable by using the thumb).
