Re: Modified instruments for amputees?

About 50 years ago I modified a clarinet for a friend who had lost the top 2 joints of his left ring finger. I added a post in line with the D# key posts and fitted an articulated plateau pad to the tone-hole above the middle joint. I also lengthened the C# key. I fabricated the keywork from the contents of my junkbox. As far as I know the clarinet (Selmer, as I recall) is still in use.
