Alternate Fingering Chart for Boehm-System Clarinet
Chalumeau Register: E3 to B 4
This fingering chart includes both basic fingerings and alternatives that are more appropriate in some 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 all sizes of Boehm-system clarinet unless specified otherwise. There is also an alternate fingering chart for Boehm-system alto, bass, and contrabass clarinet, which includes additional alternate chalumeau and altissimo fingerings for those models.

Alternate Fingering Chart for Boehm-System Clarinet
Lower Altissimo Register: C 6 to G6
This fingering chart includes both basic fingerings and alternatives that are more appropriate in some 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 all sizes of Boehm-system clarinet unless specified otherwise. There is also an alternate fingering chart for Boehm-system alto, bass, and contrabass clarinet, which includes additional alternate chalumeau and altissimo fingerings for those models.

Trill Fingering Chart for Boehm-System Clarinet
Chalumeau Register: E3 to B 4
This fingering chart includes trill fingerings, which are fingerings designed for rapid alternation between two notes at an interval of a minor second (semitone) or a major second (whole tone) apart. Many of these fingerings can also be used as alternate fingerings for some fast passages. Keys to be trilled are indicated in red. When more than one key is to be trilled, the keys should be simultaneously pressed and simultaneously released, unless the description says to alternate pressing and releasing the keys. These fingerings apply to all sizes of Boehm-system clarinet unless specified otherwise.
