Re: Vent A on B4- try it you'll like it

I have used this venting for many years, so far back I can't recall where I originally got it from. In general I find it makes a greater difference to the A clarinet than the Bb, probably because of the longer tube length for B4 on the A clarinet.

Another fingering I sometimes use is to add the B4 key when playing B5. This seems to add more resonance to the B5. The degree of improvement however varies quite a lot between clarinets, and even to some extent with different reeds.
