The Clarinet BBoard

Yes, but what do you call it?

Author: ThatPerfectReed  Date:   2014-03-13 03:33 Barring the few of us with left, in addition to right pinkied / keys, no surprise, some musical pieces find us switching pinkies mid-note to set our right pinkies up for playing this note, often after we've just played it followed by a bunch of other notes that require a "pinky convention" (i.e. lots of notes requiring our pinkies, left and right.) I've always called this "LORIing," after the name "Lori" which contains an "L" and an "R," no differently that we move between left (L) and right (R) pinkies. I'm not sure if I learned this from someone else. Does anyone call this "LORIing," or have some other name for it--other, of course, than the usual "I call it hard," or a "pain," or "time to buy a Tosca or Backun clarinet?" "Pinky convention," that's mine.
