I'm new here.... but old in age.... what is a speaker key.... and which b
flat are you talking about the one with the A & reg. key or the A and the
2nd side key...... or the higher b flat that you use the left hand
alone.... or is it the b flat that uses the thumb, 2fingers, and the side
key on the same barrel??

I have never heard any one call the keys by a name.....
I would like to know how to identify the different keys.
Thank you for a course in clarinet 101...

A new student.
