Re: Ring finger vs. Pinky

All your fingers should be almost straight. Right now, your fingers are all curved and your hand is too close to the clarinet. Your LH thumb should be at an angle to the length of the clarinet.
Here is a trick I use to teach a "natural position".
Put your thumb on the thumb tube and your pinky on the LH C or C# key. Keep the pinky almost straight, only having a slight relaxed curve. Then place the other fingers on the holes.
This idea should help you find a good position. Experiment.
