Removing the top 3 trill keys?

Author: Ben Shaffer
Date: 2019-03-08 00:01

You know when I was playing today, I realized I never use the top 3 Trill Keys and don't think I'll ever use them in this lifetime
Is there reason why I can't just remove them and obviously tape the holes?
There is a practical reason I'd be up for doing this... I have super bad tendinitis in my left thumb, so any way I can reduce the weight of the Clarinet is a big plus. I've never seen this done
I only play in a couple of church bands so could care less how it would look.
This is somewhat common for folks playing Irish Flute to have one or even several holes taped up for keys never used and I can't say there is any difference in sound because of it
