Subj: Re: [kl] Alto Clarinet Question

Robert,

I'm assuming that this alto clarinet has all finger holes covered by
pads (plateau system) and is not like a Bb soprano clarinet with open
ring keys which are sealed with the fingers. Is that assumption correct?
Please answer that question for me and the group and then I can
suggest some things to you.
