Question:What hand goes on the top part of the clarinet? Left of right?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: What hand goes on the top part of the clarinet? Left of right?

Left! the middle 3 fingers fit the first three holes and your thumb goes at the back. Try and start getting an open G first. This note is one wihout any fingers! Get the shape of your mouth right first then add the fingers

left hand on top
right hand on bottom

:)

Left

left hand goes on top.

your left thumb should be covering the hole on the back of the clarinet. your left index, middle and ring fingers cover the top three holes with your pinky resting on the keys where your pinky would be in a comfortable position,

your right hand is the same except on the bottom three holes of the clarinet and there isnt a hole for your thumb to cover

Left.

left. all instruments are played that way. i hope you have a great time playing the clarinet!

left, always, how did you manage to play it right the other way, the keywork gets in the way
