A speaker key? I don't believe that this Alto has one. It is set up
exactly like a bass clarinet with the low Eb on the right hand being the
only key that is different from regular clarinet or even Contrabass.

There is however a tone hole in the first key, which I generally cover
up.

Sorry.. the last couple of hours have been confusing:(
