 Re: right fourth finger too small

Some brands of clarinet have larger RH holes. Selmer is the one I've found has the largest. I had a student a number of years ago whose band director made all the clarinets get intermediate horns and she ended up with a nice wooden Selmer. However, when she was in fifth grade, her fingers were just too tiny to make it work! I suggested she switch to a Vito until her fingers got big enough, and it worked great. Not sure how happy her band director was about her having a plastic clarinet while all the others had wooden ones, but, as we all know, all the students don't have to have the exact same setup in order to have a section that can blend well...
