Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): Steffen Walter, Erik Freitag, Johanna Timm, PhD

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

C#-Bb connected table key


http://www.yanagisawasax.co.jp/en/baritone/992/

The C# key and Bb key have adopted a seesaw system to make a speedy but smooth finger "travelling possible."


Peer comment(s):

neutral Joel Schaefer : H is B natural in English, so this seems unlikely. Don't we have a bari player to ask? I'm just a cellist ...

disagree Jim Tucker (X) : H-B is "B (♮)-B♭"; a "Wippe" is a rocker, not a table key (which is a flat key for the table under the little finger of the left hand)

(tilting) Bb rocker arm

Peer comment(s):

agree Jim Tucker (X) : or "rocker low b-flat" (tilting or not). It's the lowest note on a sax (usually), and it's traditionally hard to slip back and forth between it and b-natural. The rocker arm makes it a little easier for the left pinky.
