Bob,

A forked Eb mechanism can be fitted to nearly any clarinet with 17/6 configutarion, though it does mean some surgery involving fitting a tonehole chimney for LH3 and a vent hole between LH2 and LH3, a ring and arm for RH3, a short stud pillar to carry an extra spring for LH2 ring, a bridge mechanism, linkage and adjusting screw, and all this is mounted between the existing pillars on a pinned steel to connect the new ring for LH3 to the E vent pad.

I tried it out on my plastic Yamaha to see if it works, and it works much better than I expected. I nearly fitted it to my B&H 1010, but someone bought it off me just before I was about to start chopping it up.

So anything is possible.
