Some years ago I acquired a 1920-ish Selmer-Paris clarinet that had been cleverly modified to accommodate what I assume was a missing tip or all of the right index finger (perhaps a WWI veteran?). It had a plateau key cup to cover the uppermost lower-joint tonehole, attached to a clever roller plate hinged from the left side which allowed the r.h. middle finger to close just the uppermost tonehole by sliding up onto the roller plate, or down to the finger's normal position to close both the first and second pad. I still have a few of those custom parts (I had 'reverted' the instrument to normal keywork and sold the instrument thereafter.) I could probably recreate something similar.
