Alternate Fingering Chart for Boehm-System Clarinet

Lower Altissimo Register: C

6to G6

This fingering chart includes both basic fingerings and alternatives that are more appropriate insome passages. Some alternate fingerings are designed for fast passages, while others modify

the tone, color, or pitch at normal and extreme dynamic levels. These fingerings apply to allsizes of Boehm-system clarinet unless specified otherwise. There is also an alternate fingeringchart for Boehm-system alto, bass, and contrabass clarinet, which includes additional alternatechalumeau and altissimo fingerings for those models.
