Does anybody know where I could find a fingering chart for an Eb soprano clarinet? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sarah - many people think that playing the E flat soprano clarinet is as easy as playing the B flat soprano. I'm afraid this is not my experience - I own a piccolo clarinet and love to play it, but it's a little beast and requires a fine ear to adjust for intonation, the higher it goes the more unstable the pitch. Once you've mastered it and you get used to how to adjust for certain notes, it will become automatic. I have never played on an E flat yet that was beautifully in tune all over the range like their bigger cousins - but then again, maybe I just played to few that were a little more devilish?

It's been my experience with the little 'eefers' that the <somewhat> untsable upper registers can require alternate fingering to tune them-easier than constantly lippin up/down/sideways?
