Clarinet. Nominal pitch: B♭.
Technical description: Blackwood with silver plated german silver ferrules and keywork. Five pieces: mouthpiece, barrel, upper section, lower section, bell. The main feature of the Mazzeo system is that it has one proper tone-hole for the register key and another for a good in-tune throat B♭, instead of using one key compromising between these different requests. B♭ key operated by L2, R1, R2, on R3 articulated. Closed with L1 and L0. Plateau key for L0. Ringless bell aids in weight reduction. 19 keys, 6 rings. L0: plate F₄/C♮₆; speaker.
