actually, a student of mine had it and sold it to get a Hammerschmidt G whi=
ch is much better and very reasonably prized. But the tremolo in question w=
ould be C#-F, possible but not great. On a picksia=DFe h=F6lzl however, the=
notes would be an octave higher and more comfortable.
Still, if money was no object I'd recommend breeding a mutant giant blackbi=
rd to sing that tremolo.

Best wishes

the holes as possible. On my clarinet I can leave on all fingers but right=
thumb and index. Those two would rock from keys to holes in as smooth a mo=

orth while working on it. It will of course never be a really quick tremolo=
. For that you will have to transpose. How about playing the part on a C (A=
b-C), Eb (F-A) or A (B-Eb) clarinet? Unfortunately, neither is particularly=
good. If it was Richard Strauss you'd have a clarinet d'amore in Ab made f=
or that tremolo only.
