Hmm. I am perfectly happy with using equipments to alleviate some of the issues with certain passages. I am personally looking at Eb Left hand lever hard to reduce my pinkies caught in a pinch. (I am horrible and does not always pre-plan things.

Fabian, feel free to fill us in on details such as what equipment you use, any methods that you currently are studying out of, what kind of an environment your school is like and so forth. It might come in handy to address some of the other points that you are looking for advice on.

One thing that immediately comes to my mind is that you should seek out Thomas Ridenour's youtube videos on things Clarinet, where he addresses not only on inefficient finger position, but going as far as to educate the viewers on his design philosophy over the physical instrument itself.

By the way Fabian, how supportive is your family with your endeavor? I know it may not fall directly with the scope of the questions posed, but it serves some good in looking at matters of practice regime, capital investment needed for this craft and so forth.
