Re: Chalumeau Eb fingering question

It's not a great note due to it naturally being sharp as an Eb (but excellent as an upper register Bb), but it is a good alternative if it can be used as part of a tremolo where using the side key (or cross key) fingerings would be impractical.

On Albert/simple system as well as German and Oehler systems, the forked fingering for Eb (xox|ooo) is often too sharp, but makes for an excellent upper register Bb. The side key or cross key fingerings work better in the lower register just as they do on Boehm systems.

Only with clarinets fitted with the LH forked Eb/Bb mechanism (the 7th ring key for LH finger 3), do you get a decent Eb and Bb with the xox|ooo fingering.
