Bolt-on Alternate Eb Key

The alternate left-hand Eb key is one of the most useful upgrades on a clarinet — it opens up technical passages, smooths out certain fingering combinations, and is standard on many higher-end professional instruments. Clarinets that come with one from the factory are often significantly more expensive than those without. The RiceWorks bolt-on kit changes that equation entirely.

Before this kit, adding a left-hand Eb key meant drilling for a new post, grinding existing keys, or fabricating custom parts — work that requires a skilled technician and a real commitment. The RiceWorks kit is a drop-in installation: a couple of screws and the key locks onto your R13. No permanent modification, no specialist work, no risk to the instrument.

We love this kit. It's one of those solutions that makes you wonder why it took so long to exist.

Designed specifically for Buffet clarinets.
