Subj: [kl] Key Signatures for Clarinets
Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 17:27:45 -0400

I'm curious to hear from 5 key clarinet players. Is it more difficult to play in D than in Bb? I know that I consider flat keys easier on my modern clarinet, and I remember flat keys easier on the recorder, which is very similar to the 5 key, I think? But maybe that is custom and simply the order I learned my scales on both instruments.
Here's a fingering chart for 5 key clarinets, thanks to Anne Bell.
