Improvisational Clarinet Due to Disability

Author: Windy Dreamer

Are there any recognized disabled improvisational clarinet players that overcome disability by adopting unconventional methods of play ? An example would be someone without enough fingers.
In my case I overcome spasticity by keeping one finger firmly pressed against the lower joint center open tone hole unless all of the upper joint holes are blocked. It is the only way I can maintain control of the clarinet. I play the clarinet as though it was five different instruments. Each of my melodies contains only three to six unique notes.
This method of play gives me great pleasure. People that have heard my playing have encoraged me to busque .They claim my melodies are uplifting and empowering .
