How To Play The Clarinet:Fingering Diagram For The ...

  • This is considered to be the best clarinet made by CG Conn (in 1958 the company was sold and The 'CG' was dropped from the company name per agreement with the widow of the previous owner). The 444N was the preferred clarinet of the late great Artie Shaw, probably because it was a 'large bore' clarinet. It is the only clarinet with the CG Conn.
  • Albert System 15 keys 5 rings Clarinet in A - High Pitch. Albert System 15 keys 5 rings Clarinet in Bb - Low Pitch.
  • The LH palm keys for saxophone are a bit similar, but easier to figure out than the two sets of clarinet pinky keys. The simple way I would deal with it is to rotate the clarinet fingering chart by 180 degrees, which makes it like Arundo Donax's chart. It's not the same as a vertical flip.
