(Disclaimer - I am maker of the Forte' Bb and C clarinets)
We designed the "A" key and several other keys on Forte' clarinets to be more ergonomic. One caution that we received from teachers was not to make keys so different that a student would have to relearn fine motor skills when moving to the old fashioned standard keywork of other clarinets so the modifications were significant but not so much so that anyone used to playing a "regular" clarinet would have trouble. The reception for these changes has been gratifying.
