Description

altissimo register clarinet Sim, Alan_303 Clarinet Fingerings & 276 TrillsFrom the publisher: "The author, Alan Sim, has enjoyed a career both as a performing musician and as a research engineer. His study of clarinet fingerings has led to this book which should be of value to students, to performers, and to the simply curious! It is an organized collection of 303 fingerings for 52 chromatic notes rising to the altississimo G two octaves above the stave! These are supported by 276 fingerings for half and whole tone trills.

From the publisher:

"The author, Alan Sim, has enjoyed a career both as a performing musician and as a research engineer. His study of clarinet fingerings has led to this book which should be of value to students, to performers, and to the simply curious!

It is an organized collection of 303 fingerings for 52 chromatic notes rising to the altississimo G two octaves above the stave! These are supported by 276 fingerings for half- and whole-tone trills.

In addition there are 8 pages of critical discussion of factors affecting tone and intonation, and liberal comments are given on every page to assist in comparing and evaluating the alternative fingerings.

All fingerings are displayed schematically by diagrams that enable instant interpretation at a glance without having to recall the meanings of various numbers and letters. Many have symbols to indicate qualitative features such as sharpness or dullness.

The fingerings are valid for soprano Boehm system clarinets in Band A having 17 keys and 6 rings."

From the preface:

"I must acknowledge indebtedness in the first place to Frederick J. Thurston and Alan Frank whose tutor 'The Clarinet,' published by Boosey & Hawkes many years ago, enabled me to embark on the task of teaching myself to play the instrument. The exceptional book 'The Clarinet & Clarinet Playing' by Robert Willaman, published by Carl Fischer in 1944, was also a great help in the early days.

It soon became apparent that fingering is a profound problem when trying to master the clarinet, and so I perused every book, tutor and fingering chart that came my way, only to find a rather limited set of fingerings scattered amongst various publications. 

I therefore set out to compile as exhaustive a collection of fingerings as was practicable, and edit the result into a useable form. This is it!

The book is, I hope, small enough to be carried in a pocket, or kept, perhaps, in an instrument case, or even perched on a stand with the music. I trust these advantages will compensate for the rather minimal size of the diagrams. 

No attempt has been made to meet the requirements of multiphonic music, etc. These are well catered for in 'New Directions for Clarinet' by Phillip Rehfeldt, published by The University of California Press Ltd. in 1977. 

A difficulty I have now is in recalling where all the information came from, many of the inclusions being a result of personal experimentation. I wish to record my thanks to those colleagues and pupils who have directly or indirectly contributed to this work, and in particular to Heather and Marion who have helped in checking the contents, and to Ken who has been so valuable with the printing and production."

Better than canned air
I got this because I got sick or buying canned air. This will pay for itself in a short time if you use canned air often enough. Surprisingly powerful and can even blow some debris from the floor of my garage from a standing position. Different attachments for whatever your need it. Well worth it. As soon as I got it I cleaned all my electronics and was satisfied by how much dust flew out of them. Electronics can now breath again and are performing as they should and are not overheating.

Best portable air dusters on the market - extremely powerful and lightweight! 🙏🏻
As someone who cuts hair, this Wolfbox MF50 has been super useful for keeping my clippers, trimmers, and my station clean. This is one of my favorite products I have in my kit and overall it’s one of the best investments I’ve made. The airflow is strong enough to blow hair out of blades and hard-to-reach areas without needing an air compressor and on the go. It’s compact, rechargeable, and easy to keep at the barber station. Great tool for barbers or anyone who wants quick cleanup during cuts. The battery takes a while to recharge but if you plug it in after every use you should have no problems using it all day.

Compact product that will save you money over time.
This is a very impressive product that eliminated the wasteful spending on can air. I do a lot of laser cutting and engraving projects that create a constant need to clear out the find particle in the machine. This air duster provide the correct amount of pressure I needed to clean those areas while not creating addition mess. The attachment are useful to focus the pressure on cleaning out those hard to reach areas. Battery or motor temperature did not get hot and remain constant. The volume of air also stay constant throughout the time of use. This is idea for those that dont have the air compressor, live on a budget, and like quick and easy solutions.

Powerful, Efficient, and Great for Cleaning
This air duster is extremely powerful and does an excellent job cleaning dust from keyboards, electronics, and tight spaces. The high RPM really makes a difference, and it feels much more effective than canned air. It’s rechargeable, easy to use, and saves money in the long run. Very satisfied with the performance and build quality.

Great upgrade from canned air for keyboard and desk cleaning
I picked this up mainly to clean my keyboard and desk setup, and it's done a solid job replacing the canned air I used to constantly restock. No more running out mid-clean or dealing with the cold spray residue; just plug it in and go. The airflow is strong enough to blast crumbs and dust out from between keycaps with ease. I was impressed by how much junk it pulled out of my keyboard that I didn't even realize was in there. For desk gear like vents, cable ports, and monitor edges, it works really well, too. The 3-speed settings are handy. I stick to the lower settings for most keyboard work and only bump it up when something is really packed in. Build quality feels decent, and it charges via USB-C, which is convenient. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's a bit louder than I expected at higher speeds. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing going in. Overall, though, it's a smart buy if you're tired of buying canned air on repeat.
