The Clarinet BBoard

"cross" fingerings update

Author: ron b  Date:   2004-12-03 01:27 By way of promised response to a previous thread, without plowing through all the prior responses... I tried two 'cross' fingerings on the Simple System clarinet this afternoon. The first space F, normally Txoo|ooo/with side 'trill' key -- fingered Toxo|ooo is really stuffy, almost too stuffy to 'live with it' :| Above staff Ab to Bb: T(R)oo[sliver]o|ooo to T(R)oxo|ooo is 'passable' but not not 'easy listenin' ' by a long shot :( sooo... it seems that "Simple Sis" likes one set of fingerings and not much of anything else -- strictly a No Frills horn. I'm used to not trying alternates with the SS so it seems normal not to use any. She's a fun horn, sounds nice tonewise, but just not enthusiastic about playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" any time soon - rn b -

Author: ron b  Date:   2004-12-04 04:44 I haven't tried that on the Simple System yet, Alexi, but... (yeah! ) on the Albert, Tox'o|ooo work great! I'd overlooked that one for whatever reason... old dog, old tricks, I guess. Or, just old age laziness. But, yeah, thank you, that's a good fingering. That little extra venting helps a lot, brings it right up to pitch. (Now I've learned TWO things today. My student showed me high D using R/T[Ab/G#]ooo|ooo ) what a wonderful day.... - ron b -
