 Re: Thinking out of the box

I've had a small piece of cork pushed under the LH sliver key on my Eb clarinet for as long as I can remember. My fingers are so close together that without corking it shut those accidents were all too predictable even when I was much younger. The advantage I see is that the tape has the potential to create a minor mess if the adhesive starts to get soft and bleed around the edges.

I do use LH Eb/Bb occasionally on my soprano clarinets, but I play the Eb clarinet rarely enough that the loss of that fingering really isn't so much of a sacrifice. If I felt I really wanted it for some passage, the cork comes out easily, while removing tape would involve cleaning off the residue before I could use the key.
