The above is a very intrigueing [sp?] discussion,to which I had never given much thought [just "doin' what comes nachurly" -apologies to Annie G Y G!]. Seems to me that if one must see the note, name it and THEN find the proper fingering, that the computer [the brain] is delayed in the response. Then if the player wishes to lower, or raise, by an octave the tone actually played, requiring [for us] a different fingering because of the 12ths character of the clar., that should result in further delay. I have found a preference, when playing bass cl, seeing a poor-responding clarion note,to "play it an octave lower" [hereisy I'm sure] but I dont recall much, if any, delay in so doing. I hope this may make some sense and will bring a response or so from our several posters as to ?whats going on?? Don
