Greetings

The keying is exactly the same as my Artley, with the exception that the
keys are
longer.
As far as the tenons go they are the same size as the Artley's tenons, the
sections
(both) though are an inch larger than the Artley's.

I do not see any articulated G# keys, not that I know what that is. Still
in the lower
register in my studies!

I promised myself to play my Artley until such time I am fit to move up. I
have a bad
habit of picking up different instruments, not this time I will learn to
play the clarinet
and the Artley is getting all of that time. Now mechanics is a different
story, the
Holton and the Barklee are getting a workover like nobodies business!

Thanks
Joe
