one more Bb fingering available on clarinet--like the bis key on saxophone,
would make those kinds of passages MUCH easier.

----------------------

Klara, there is a key that can be added (more like a little key extension)
to make the Clarinet have a bis Bb/Eb. I think I saw it in the Woodwind
Brasswind catalog. Never seen, nor tried it. Never needed it - except on Eb
Clarinet playing Daphnis 1st cahier, and you can do that with the index
finger covering the 1st ring, and holding the pad/key right below it just
like a bis key. Makes going from top space G to Bb really fast back and
forth a lot easier.
