Thread Name: Can clarinet be a folk instrument?
Subject: RE: BS: Can clarinet be a folk instrument?
The most common "troublesome" key I've found is anything where C's are sharp, because the fingering between B/Bb and C# on a clarinet is VERY VERY awkward. Other than that, I haven't seen any other problems. I usually just play natural C's, and it isn't that noticable of a change in most pieces where the "problem" occurs.
