The articulated G# is a special mechanism which allows you to do a trill from F# to G# in the clarino register by only moving one finger. Most trills on the clarinet involve only one finger, but the F# to G# normally needs two fingers to be moved simultaneously, which is very difficult. More expensive models have the articulated G#, which makes this trill easy.

The extra ring on some expensive clarinets allows a different fingering to be used for the hogh Bb note in the Clarino register: RT 1-3 | ---. All the normal Bb fingerings work as well.
