Subj: [kl] Key extensions
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 21:42:43 -0400

Does anyone have any tips on the best way to put together a key
extension? I'm playing the bass clarinet part for a Latin American
piece called "Sensemaya" at the moment, and it is giving me RSI because
I play nothing but low Eb-low E for about 4 pages. My Eb key is next to
my E key, and because I've got small hands, it's an uncomfortable stretch.
I plan to put an extension on the Eb key, but don't really know how or where
to
start. Anybody able to help? I have tried closing the hole with my leg,
but I can't move my knee fast enough for long enough to make this work......

TIA
Anna
