Re: So does anyone use the ring finger Eb/Bb-lever?

My experience of playing quite a few makes/models of clarinet over the years is that there is no consistency between them and that a specific fingering on one will produce a really good note yet same fingering on another may be noticeably inferior. Even the Bb/A pairs often vary in this respect.
The fingering 110110 on my Leblanc LLs produces a really good and intune forked G# and yet on many clarinets the note is barely useable.
The "usual" throat F# fingering is in fact a forked note and the side (trill) F# is in fact a non-forked note which often does produce a better note.
The use of alternate (sliver) keys also permits optimised tuning between the twelths and on my Leblancs the keyed and forked B/F# both provide perfect F# but the keyed note is a much more intune B.
Like several posters above I use the LH sliver and side F# all the time in chromatics and quite frequently in other contexts.
If it works for me I'll use it and others can make their own choices.
