Anna of "Dodgshun family" asked about whether a clarinet with the keys =
on
the opposite side to a
normal clarinet has ever been made. I know of none, although you'd be
surprised how many photographs have been mass produced where the copy
editor decided to turn the negative over. My favorite is a Buddy DeFranc=
o
album with Buddy playing the clarinet with right hand on top. Who knows=
.
@-----. maybe I'm only assuming the photo image was reversed !! =
