Putting aside the language difficulty (Paulo evidently knows
"obtaining leverage", but not "leg" or "foot") -- and putting aside our
previous speculation about playing low B on Stadler's horn with knee or
thigh -- it's really hard for me to imagine a sincere instructional
video that recommends using the leg while fingering, even on a bass or
other long clarinet.
Is my lack of clarinet education showing again?
