Re: Yamaha Alto Clarinets...

I haven't invented anything special here - similar keywork can be found on very old Selmer clarinets, so it shows that good tried and tested ideas will always stand the test of time.

The linkage piece is soldered directly to the Ab/Eb key barrel as on very old Selmers with the Ab/Eb lever (and is pinned like the other LH levers) - not a pillar or flat metal lug soldered onto the pad cup as later models had.

I used a Buffet nylon pin in the end of the LH Ab/Eb lever as the lever was a bit too long once I soldered the linkage piece in place, so I had to grind the existing pin off and another 3mm off the end of the LH Ab/Eb lever to get a good fit.
