 Re: E flat / A flat left pinky key retrofit

I've fitted the more traditional style LH Ab/Eb lever with the touch in the usual place to my Yamaha alto clarinet - based on the LH Ab/Eb lever fitted to Yamaha basses.

The new Ab/Eb lever shares the same pillars and screw as the LH E/B lever (but mounted on a separate short key barrel) and a new cranked linkage piece had to be made and soldered onto the Ab/Eb key barrel. I used a Buffet nylon pin in the end of the Ab/Eb lever to connect it with: http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/download.html?1,2091/AltoClarEbLever.jpg
(I've polished it up since these photos were taken)

But this one requires more surgery to fit and also if it has to be removed to restore the instrument back to its original form.
