Guess what! You can play clarinet with one hand! I am so excited to tell you about this new instrument!
Peter Worrell, an instrument maker in the UK, has done tremendous work for musicians with limb differences. He recently developed a one-handed clarinet!

You can purchase a Daniel’s Claritie separately, though Peter includes the contraption with his one-handed clarinets.
Peter’s contributions to the adaptive musician community also include the development of the Dolmetsch One-Handed Recorders:

Peter added keys to a soprano recorder for me in 2013. One year later, he customized an alto with the same design.
Thank you, Peter, for your beautiful, high-quality instruments! Your craftsmanship and creativity continue to amaze me!
