Re: Vintage clarinet fingering

Thanks, Glenn:
I'll print those out then play with different fingering combinations where the Oehler/Alber fingering calls for the pressing of keys that are not on the old style clarinet. This thing, with respect to keywork, falls somewhere between an Oehler/Albert and a recorder. Actually, several of the keys for various accidentals are located similar to the boehme clarinet on the upper joint (the A & Ab key levers are side-by-side and do not operate together). The lower joint is a little trickier, as there are only 2 long LH pinkie levers and only 1 RH pinkie lever. Anyhoo, I'll give it a whirl and write up a chart for fingerings that differ from the Oehler/Albert chart. Thanks again.
