=Microtonal fingerings for normal clarinet= | |||
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|19ED3 (19 equal divisions of 3/1)]], since they overblow at the twelfth. | All clarinets are tuned to an inexact 12tEDO.

The [[http://www.sfoxclarinets.com/bpclar.html|Bohlen-Pierce clarinet project]] by Stephen Fox (instigated by Georg Hajdu) has so far resulted in the building of a soprano clarinet in the [[BP|BP scale (13ED3)]]; the scale seems ideal for clarinet in particular. | The [[http://www.sfoxclarinets.com/bpclar.html|Bohlen-Pierce clarinet project]] by Stephen Fox (instigated by Georg Hajdu) has so far resulted in the building of a soprano clarinet in the [[BP|BP scale (13ED3)]]; the scale seems ideal for clarinet in particular. | ||
