Are there any fingering charts for resonance fingerings that are easy to use and pull out when needed?
I did some research on this, and I did not find anything.

I think resonance fingerings may vary from instrument to instrument, so it's probably not practical to make a resonance fingerings chart.

Not true.
Fingering books by Ridenour, Alan Sim and Opperman all give numerous choices for throat tone resonance fingerings.

You just need a chart to give you some ideas and then find what works for you ...

But is there a chart like that available on the internet for free?
Something that is quick and handy to pull up.

I play on a full Boehm and have not seen any for that system yet I usually end up experimenting with certain fingerings.

I don't have a resource. I can though talk about some of the ones that come to mind.
* Stuffy G#4's are often resolved by opening, or having a tech open this left pinky valve more when the note is engaged by this finger. Some people's tone hold pads simply don't come up high enough.
* A4 is sometimes improved through the additional of L2 and L3.
* Bb4 is often improved through the additional of L2 and L3.
* Bb4 is often improved even more than immediately above by replacing use of the register key with the second from top trill key on the right side of the upper joint, as played with the right hand. L2 and L3 may be useful here to address intonation issues.
* Long tones on B4 are often made better sounding and easier to voice by simultaneously opening the A4 key while playing the otherwise full fingers down B4.
* Some also report similar improvements to B4 with opening of the Ab4 lever alone...or at least respect that it's okay for it to be open when taking some of the more difficult phrasing of the Mozart Concerto's 1st mvmt that finds the player moving from Ab4 to B4 quickly.
That's just some off the top of my head.

Whiteplainsdave... I was wondering if instead of saying G#4, you could use the bboard's note drawings.... I am sorry but I do not know as to what octave you are speaking of with the numbers following the notes. It would be also greately appreciated if you did the same for the other notes, like the B4, A4 and so forth.
Sorry for inconvenience.

There is a new book written by Ricardo Morales, in partnership with Backun Music, that specifically deals with Resonance Fingerings.
You can download it here:

Great stuff! I have a few fingerings that one of my teachers showed me that I don't see ... especially for the pinch B-flat ... the booklet has extra places to add your own fingerings ... cool!
Thanks!

UPDATE: after playing around with Ricardo Morale's resonance fingerings that Miss Anderson was so kind to share with me, I was able to find one that allowed me to hit the ![[Bb4]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/bb4.gif) spot on!
Thank you so much, everyone.... the worst note on the clarinet is now becoming my favorite one!
