Charlie C. There is another of us on the list. I purchased an old A clarinet for use in our church orchestra. I found out that on B maj pieces that you can play the music up a step and subtract all 5 sharps ie play in the key of Bb concert. BTW when I got the clarinet I had to have the barrel joint shortened ablut 1/4 in to play in tune but when another player used it for a gig she had to pull out both ends of the barrel and between the joints to play in tune. I don't understand why. You need to come join our church because we almost always have normal music although some times it is manuscript. When there is not a clarinet part I normally transpose the viola part for the clarinet section.
