The Mazzeo system is a key system for the clarinet invented by Rosario Mazzeo in the 1950s,[1] and is a modification of the Boehm system. Exclusive mass-production rights were given to the Selmer company, although only 13,000 were made.[citation needed] Many are now in museums, but some are in private collections or can be found for sale. Selmer's 'Bundy' line of Resonite student instruments included a Mazzeo model.
By Don Sadler Communication is key to extending instrument life and promoting patient safety Of all the different kinds of medical instruments found in a hospital setting, surgical instruments are among the most sensitive and delicate. To prevent damage to the instruments and promote patient safety, it is critical that OR nurses and technicians exercise.
The differences between a Boehm system clarinet and a Mazzeo system clarinet are
The throat B♭ using the A key and any one or combination of left-hand second or third finger or right-hand first, second, or third fingers to operate a linkage opening the third right-index-finger trill key, rather than using the inadequately vented register key to obtain that pitch; the same fingerings, minus A key, produce A; traditional (Boehm) B♭ and A fingerings are also available;
A left-hand-thumb plateau key;
A ringless bell with less flare.
Full and modified Mazzeo clarinets feature
An E♭/B♭ key playable with the thumb, first, and third fingers and D♭/A♭ key on the left-hand side;
An articulated B♭ to C♯ keys;
An alternate left-hand A♭/E♭ key.

The Many Benefits of Taking Music Lessons
Lessons for Young Students
For young students, music helps to improve concentration. It teaches the importance of study and practice. It, also, leads to increased performance in school. Music helps students by giving them a way to develop creativity. It takes them away from tv, video games, and texting. It teaches them to use all of their digits, not just their thumbs!
Music Lessons as an Adult
Playing an instrument is a great stress reliever. It helps take your mind off of your daily problems allowing you to escape and create. Feel the sense of accomplishment that comes with learning an instrument. You can play for your friends and family around the campfire, play some songs with your kids or even start a band. You can write songs, play at church or play at parties. Your possibilities are limitless.
Older Students Playing Musical Instruments
Music helps improve memory and manual dexterity. If you are retired, learning to play an instrument is a great hobby, possibly something you have wanted to do your whole life. Maybe you want to renew the love and fun of playing an instrument that you played in the past. It's never too late to start playing.
