Early Buffet Elite, Howarth S2 and S3 and Marigaux R.S.Symphonie clarinets don't have the crows foot - the Buffet Elite and Howarths having two arms from the F#/C# and E/B keys making contact with the F/C pad cup.

The Marigaux having a long F/C key barrel with an arm at the lower end making contact with the F#/C# key and an arm from the E/B key making contact with the F/C key pad cup. The arms all have adjusting screws on their ends.

There were some clarinets with half a crows foot - the Howarth S1 and the Selmer 10G. The half crows foot linked the F/C key to the F#/C# touchpiece.
