Re: Normandy Plateau Key

I have in recent years found that as I age my fingers really tend to creep closer together, giving occasional problem in covering LH and RH 1st finget toneholes.
I suspect that sooner rather than later I will need to move to the old plateau system clarinet that has been on the back burner of my "to do" list for at least 10 years.

I know of at least two players who developed arthritis and found that using a plateau system clarinet enabled them to keep on playing.

Fortunately my Alto and bass clarinets plus the basset horn are all by design plateau. So when all else fails I will descend down into the nether regions to fade gently away.
