Re: One-piece full boehm Buffet

I saw one of these up in Howarth's London shop (it's in the workshop), one piece body but as well as the standard articulated G# that full Boehms have, it has a seperate G-Ab trill key (for RH finger 2) opening a tonehole in the standard 17/6 Boehm position, completely independant from the LH C#/C# touch and mechanism.

So I suppose the altissimo Bb can be played as C5, but nudging the RH 2 G# touch will give the same venting for this note as on standard 17/6 clarinets (Th.Sp.xxxC#/G#|xxxF/C) - if that's possible without RH finger 2 uncovering it's tonehole (Sp.Th. xxx|x,xxF/C) - otherwise the full Boehm fingering is the same but with the thumb off the thumb bush (Sp. xxx|xxxF/C)
