I need to use the long figerings quite a bit, particularly when I am
moving from low Eb to low Bb, or from high Bb to F. I personally find
that if my clarinet is even slightly out of adjustment, than I can't hit
the long Bb or Eb right on, and sometimes it squeaks. ANNIE

Subject: [kl] Long-Bb fingering
I have a question concerning the "long Bb" (in the clarion register,
or the "long Eb" in the chalumeau).
Since I am a late beginner and only play for about three years I never
used this fingering so far.
1. Do professionals use it often, and in which situations and why? Is
only the long Bb used, or also the long Eb?
2. On my clarinet (RC Prestige) this note is very resistant and also
too sharp (with RH finger 2 it is much too sharp), and also the
sound I do not like. The resistance (in particular compared with
the alternative fingerings and the neighbor notes) makes it
difficult to play for me, in particular the response is
critical. Is this a characterization of this fingering which is
well-known, or it is some defect of my special
clarinet/mouthpiece/embouchure?
Thanks
Dirk
