Re: Adding A LH Ab/Eb Lever...

The first instance I saw of this type of LH Ab/Eb lever was in the '80s when a Buffet Prestige came in with this key already made for it but not fitted, so I put it on the clarinet for its owner.

After that in the early '90s, Howarth offered it on their S1 clarinets as an option. They later fitted the touchpiece in its usual location as more players would be familiar with that.

The usual position of the LH Ab/Eb lever has generally been with its touchpiece above the other LH levers - both on full Boehms and also German and Oehler systems. I think some tarogatos even have the LH Ab/Eb lever there too.
