Hi Paul. Attached is a classic example. It's the 2nd to last 8 note progression on line two from exercise 271 of Kroepsch II in G# minor, where everything is sharp but B and E.

And yeah, in these key signatures, with a 1960's R13 absent of a left pinky Ab/Eb lever, key signatures like these are chuck full of necessary right pinky slides as you referece, as well as chromatic fingerings.

I'll try this passage with a pinky slide, solely for diagnostic purposes, and see what happens. Doing so would guarantee the D#5 hole to be closed before the C#5 hole opens.

I am right handed as you inquired. I'll also look into, later down the line in the diagnostic rubric, mechanical things like springs being cause here--my ability to fix my clarinet pretty strong for otherwise not being at the skill level of a good repairperson.

Thanks.
