 RE: In case of alto blockflote

I practice both standing up (so I know that I CAN play this way) and sitting down, and when I sit down, the clarinet is often rested on my knee for different reasons, including (most often) resting my right hand, pitch, tone/timbre/color changes, and dynamic changes. (Sometimes I will bring the bell closer in, or under my thighs to make differences between pp and ppp dynamic markings when I am already playing very softly). I have also used the method of stuffing the bell between my legs into the fabric of my chair (with a little room for the air to escape) for a written low Eb! (It was on A clarinet, so no option of switching horns to get the note).

PS Ridenour also has a great throat Bb fingering which uses the LH thumb on the top trill key of the top joint--impossible w/o resting the bell on the knee. The timbre of this fingering is unbeatable and I have used it in performance--though it is only practical for slow passages!
