Alternate Fingering Chart for Boehm-System Alto, Bass,

and Contrabass Clarinet
Altissimo Register: C 6 to E 7

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 Boehm-system alto, bass, and contrabass clarinet unless specified otherwise. There is a
separate alternate fingering chart for soprano clarinets, which includes many alternates that
also apply to alto, bass, and contrabass clarinet. The throat tone (F#4 to Bb4) and clarion (B4
to C6) fingerings are identical among soprano, alto, bass, and contrabass models and are
covered on the soprano fingering chart.
