About this work
Alto clarinet in E-flat. A tuning brace in the winding of the slide pipe. Ten keys, the lower one open with a tuning screw. The third key is operated by the thumb of the left hand, the fifth and eighth by that of the right hand. The round, slightly convex keys, whose axles rest between two pillars on a support plate, close on tubes around the holes.
