I have just acquired a McIntyre Clarinet, with a very strange keying

Wow, you found it! Do you remember the Mozart movie where the
king complains that Mozart's music has too many notes and Mozart asks
sarcastically: "Which ones should I take out?"
...well, the king chose A and Ab, and now you've discovered the
instrument that Mozart used to pacify his vacuous patron.....

..... sorry, I'll go to bed now. (but Mozart wasn't dumb, he
never told the king about alternate fingerings)
