What is the left hand Eb/Bb key for? I have never used it, but it's on every clarinet I've ever seen. I use my right hand B/F# key as much as I can, but it helps me to avoid the switch to the middle finger.
When I played saxophone I used the bis key in certain situations, like arpeggios, or when playing the blues in G, but when playing scalewise in classical it was usually best to use the right hand Bb.
I suppose the clarinet LH Eb/Bb would help you to avoid banging with the RH key and smooth things out a bit.
For those of you that do use it, do you pick your ring finger up and put it on the key, or do you roll off the tone hole, and onto the key using the side of your finger?
Also, how often do you use the 1 and 1 fingering for Bb? I used 1 and 1 often on Saxophone, but the tuning and sound on my Buffet is less than awesome.
