Subj: Re: register key tube
Date: Tue, 21 May 1996 09:17:06 -0400

Interesting comments about shortening the register key tube have been
posted. And I've shredded my share of swabs on the thing. But now I
ask the historians and technicians among us to explain why the old swan's
neck register key went out of favor. In Europe one still finds players with
this type of key on their clarinets.

What's the story?

Thanks,
Steve
