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

Author: fskelley  Date:   2017-09-22 04:16 Chris and rmk54, I think there are very few undiscovered useful tricks, only those lost to time or unfamiliar to some of us. This is one I am glad to know. Not essential, but very very nice in the right place. David, today I rechecked the B4 tuning, venting A does drive it a tiny bit sharper, but almost imperceptibly. If sharpening is more serious on other clarinets, that makes me suspect Tom actually designed his instruments to allow unfettered A venting. I also tried A vent on C5 - also fine but not much of a change. And adding RH B/E key (right, Caroline?) to B5 didn't do much, but perhaps some time when B5 is causing trouble (it happens) I will try that again. Luuk, the standard register key is an ugly compromise, but the alternatives (Rube Goldberg mechanisms, other fingering systems) are at least equally unpleasant. Alternate fingerings help when we need and are able to use them. Like side Bb instead of register key throat Bb. Stan in Orlando EWI 4000S with modifications Post Edited (2017-09-22 04:28)
