So essentially, the things that can be done on a clarinet without any new tone hole would be that of LH Ab/Eb lever.

Low Eb requires an extension of the lower joint and the creation of two posts to facilitate, the forked Eb/Bb requires additional vent key and some modification to a tone hole, articulated C# requires a hole to be drilled right in-between the two joints.

Essentially, this basically means that one would forgo a low Eb in a conversion project generally speaking.


I have just looked into the clarinets with the Ab/Eb lever since this is the most plausible and useful of the full boehm features, and I started to wonder one could simply hack their way to a Legacy from a Backun Symphonie for less bucks for example.

My very rudimentary knowledge on the technical demands in hand forging key, fitting a new post and regulate the new lever means that I can only approximate such work to be at around $200 USD... for the Eb lever. I can't put a price on all the other hacks at all since the demands on an artisan to calculate the optimal spot to make new vent/tone holes, to extend joint and to regulate all of that are completely beyond me in manpower projection.

Maybe... I should ask Stephen Fox nicely if he can manage to make a new horn as most commercial options approach the waters of custom makers.
