Quartertone cross fingerings are widespread (and apparently standard technique in French orchestral playing today), but certain pitches right above the break have no fingerings. | Quartertone cross fingerings are widespread (and apparently standard technique in French orchestral playing today), but certain pitches right above the break have no fingerings. | ||

Also worth mentioning is the scheme for making a small xenharmonic clarinet by connecting the mouthpiece directly to the lower joint. This fits only on certain clarinets, and it produces a macrotonal scale with no high register. | Also worth mentioning is the scheme for making a small xenharmonic clarinet by connecting the mouthpiece directly to the lower joint.

All clarinets are tuned to an inexact 12tEDO. It might be more accurate to describe them as 19ED3 (19 equal divisions of 3/1), since they overblow at the twelfth. | All clarinets are tuned to an inexact 12tEDO.
