At what age was Julian Bliss when he first wrapped his tiny fingers lovingly around a clarinet?

My guess is that when a child can support the weight of a clarinet, reach all the keys and cover the appropriate tone holes with their fingers they are probably old enough to put a soft reed and mouthpiece in their mouths and try to get a sound out of the horn. My second guess is that would be around 4-5 years of age.

Cheers, Danny

(who started far too many decades too late to be a prodigy but nevertheless is loving the self-flagellation of playing the clarinet; all those in earshot probably would have an alternative opinion!)
