Re: R13 modified with plateau keys

I like the feel of plateau keys on clarinets - I regularly service a Vito with full plateau keywork for a player with arthritis and it plays nicely for a plastic clarinet. I have opened up the ventings and fitted cork pads on the main action keywork so it's not stuffy at all. It doesn't feel alien to me considering how much oboe/cor playing I do and that I'm mainly a sax player, so if anything I prefer the feel of a plateau clarinet.

And you can do pitch bends on them just as easily using your embouchure as opposed to a finger gliss, as well as the 'Rhapsody gliss' as that can be done without sliding the fingers off the toneholes - when you get to upper register C#, take your thumb off the thumb tube (but still on the speaker key) and lip that note all the way up to top C.
