Dead wrong DixieSax. Do you use some of the alternate keys on the clarinet to make it easier to play some pieces and do you use the register key? Why? You don`t need these assist keys and with a lot of practice not even the reg. key. Because these bits make it easier to play the clarinet and that is precisely what the plateau does.
When a new piece of music comes out in our band I`m playing it weeks ahead of the other clarinets and that is not by any means because I am more technically proficient, it is because the plateau makes it so much easier.
Why make it hard for yourself?
Do you play a flute or sax and if so have you considered playing these open holed?. Of course not because the plateau types are easier to play.
The reason there are not many plateaus around is because most folk are conservative. I had to import mine, others would`nt. When I ask the other clarinet players have you tried a plateau? "Oh no I could`nt do that if I change a knob or key I would stand out as different".
