On some instruments there are up to six different keys for each pinky, pretty crazy. Sound production is pretty simple but of course making it sound great is a different matter.

The throat register and octave changes on bass clar. are considerably harder than "regular" Bb clarinet. At the time I started playing bass clarinet I was a fairly decent clarinet player (for a jazzer). It took me around 8 months of shedding before I got a grip on some of the octave changes and throat register on bass clar., and was able to avoid squeaking. Its also tough to play with facility all over the axe and get a big sound in every register.
There's a reason why so many classical clarinet/bass clar. players are knocked out by Dolphy's bass clarinet playing.
I used to play in a band with Douglas Yates on bass clarinet, when he couldn't make it it was really hard finding a sub because most bass clarinet players were terrified to put themselves in the position of being compared to him...
