 Re: Do you roll your thumb onto the octave key, or do you pick it up?

... hi Ken!
hey, thanks for reminder, had forgotten that nugget ... unfortunately drying skin now needs Olay to make sides of my nose oily enough for time-honored method ... substituting slicker of vaseline on pinkies for now (cork grease dries up too sticky)
... after formerly learning T-plate with that very delicate balancing act for top C (B and open plate, no thumb holding top pipe at all) I'm o-so-very happy to be holding the pipe more firmly for conservatory, and as mentioned in earlier post, had specific problem-solver to deal with, so thumb now rolls over, doesn't hover ... but i confess, do miss the alt fingerings for C# and D, and oh yes, the forked B-flat too on the top joint (yes well, very open but hey, could always add a resonator key lower down if need it)
... Haha! why on earth would any self-respecting, difficult, demanding, fickle, finicky, ornery, cantankerous, crack-prone, exhausted blown-out, perfection obsessed beep beep control freak circa A-440 OB want to be fingered easy like any 'common' clarinet?!? Well, really! Hautbois does have a public image to maintain, sniff sniff ... (twinkle) :-)
