Yes, that's what I meant. But the point is that some modification of the LH thumb-index finger combination would be needed. The problem is that, for anyone having arthritic problems with coverage or finger span, the stretch between the LH index and ring fingers may be a primary issue, and there's no ring on the C4/G5 tone hole to solve the problem from that direction. I've never actually had a plateau-keyed clarinet in my hands to examine. How do the ones that are designed that way handle the left hand?
