Re: Tone whole size

You can always have the RH pinky touchpieces moved in closer if you're finding you have to stretch to reach the F/C and E/B touches and end up with a leak from the RH3 tonehole chimney.

See attachment for an idea what that's like (left - before, right - after).

I've done this on some Yamaha clarinets as well as moved the thumbrest for older players with less flexibility in their fingers so they can reach the RH pinky keys easier without any other fingers lifting off the tonehole chimneys.
