Do I see a revolution for us left handers!! Just teasing, but I just want
to clear up what I meant by playing the clarinet left handed when I first
started playing.

It was my nature to have your top hand on the bottom piece and I had to
force myself to reverse the hands that to play the clarinet in the proper
location on the clarinet. Whether that was caused by me being left handed,
I don't know, but that is what my teacher said. There is no way one can
play a clarinet like that and hit those keys at the bottom and on the side.

What are those keys called?
