It's actually for a b flat clarinet but I already changed it to the right key.
the instructor was very very very specific in his instructions lol!
right now I"m working on the parts separately in the file. flute and oboe for

manual but will have to consult this again when it comes time to put this
monster together lol!¬
Take care.
