Dear forum members,
I received a nice German clarinet, a Klingson type from Hammerschmidt. The layout of the tone holes and keys is very similar to that of the photos in this thread.
I have never played clarinet before, but would like to try it.
My question: on the photos of the upper part , 3 long keys are shown at the bottom.
Two of these are for E flat and F respectively
What is the function of the very longest?
I have a fingering chart for the German clarinet but cannot find the use of this one.
