Subj: RE: [kl] Albert system keywork
Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 00:07:31 -0500

I have an Ab clarinet with Albert system that does this. I assume this is
relatively normal for these clarinets.
Where can I get a fingering chart for Albert system? I mostly mess around
finding the fingerings, but it might be easier to have a chart. I am also
curious about any pieces of music that might have parts written for my
little Ab clarinet. Does anybody know of any?
