C#-G#

Some German clarinet makers add extra wood where these notes are, thus
adding extra length, effectively placing the tone hole lower..

Toronto Michael Fox added a little insert and thus these notes became
better sounding and clearer.

One other solution is to buy a one-piece clarinet (like a Luis Rossi)
and then the tone hole is in the right place.

Or try and buy a full Boehm clarinet where that tone hole will be in the
right place.

The only thing with a full Boehm is that when you play with the Right
hand fingers down, the G#-G# will not open.

Thus you might not able to play the high F with all the fingers closed.
and that key open.
