Re: Lyrique 576BC revisited ...

@ TomS

I definitely noticed the difference in lower RH pinky key placement between the Lyrique 576 and my LJ Hutchens student model. On the 576, the tips of the RH keys reach closer to the center, i.e., aren't tucked away quite as far to the right side of the clarinet.

This makes those particular keys easier to reach given my particular (normal sized) hand and flexibility. Comparing the two, the keys themselves appear to be the same size/shape (didn't measure, just a visual) so it seems to be placement, not key dimension/shape.

Then again, comparing just two different instances leaves many open questions as to how the 576 lower key placements compare to other popular clarinet key configurations in general. Would be curious if anyone can offer such observations.
