Re:McIntyre Clarinet

Essentially this:

No throat A or G# keys. The upper joint has three rings.

The A, G# and Bb are played by the left hand ring keys without the left thumb;not a bad idea if one started on this from the beginning but there's a lot of linkage which tends to get out of line periodically.
