I've got a new in box C* for contraalto if anyone's interested - never played. Looking for $115 + shipping - WWBW price is $180. There's also a used Selmer...
Hello all, Just got a bass clarinet yesterday. Never played one before but am looking forward to the adventure. As an adult beginner (I play saxophone) who...
Congratulations on your purchase. Have fun. Selmer USA is, more or less, the old Bundy level and style of instrument. I wouldn't be surprised if there were...
i have one also ......selmer usa looks like the classic plastic bundys that are as plentiful as weeds it seems ....mine is good.....i am a saxophonist also....
I have the old school Bundy (small serial number) and it plays great. I beat the heck out of that thing over the years of marching band and outdoor concerts. ...
Hey all. My parents are considering buying me a bass clarinet (finally!) I've got it narrowed down to the 1183 and the 1193. The only thing is, I'm not really...
They're identical except that the 1193 goes down to Low C instead of just low Eb In truth going down to low C isn't THAT important but composers are ...
Thanks for the info, Brad. I was given an old Vito hard rubber piece that seems to be enough for now. Until I develop a bit more. I'm still curious about the...
Its called "Resonite". Its definitely more than normal plastic. I think the Vitos are ABS resin, and I do believe that Resonite is similar in properties if...
long tones and my ears..........been lately simply playing scales, emphasizing the region across the break between octaves. i most like b cl on jazz ballads....
I received my Buffet 1193 bass clarinet last September. It had arrived only the previous day and the music store technician performed a standard inspection on...
The Buffets are pretty good about this AFAIK (power forged keys), but the long keywork will tend to get a little out of adjustment over time (or corks get...
Just a brief commercial message. Quite a few people have asked me to let them know when Buffet R13 Eb clarinets were going to be available again. I just wanted...
You're singin' my song, Rev. B; striking a chord. I don't know which one, but I'm gonna noodle around until I find it. Bass clarinet improvisation has been...
here's a good one......if you ignore note names the bass clarinet is a bari sax pitch-wise,push the octave key it jumps an octave and a fifth and is a tenor...
I quietly started selling this mouthpiece about six weeks ago, on a limited basis. Now that we have sufficient inventory in stock, Lawrie Bloom and I are ...
Many of you know that I am an admirer of the music of composer Donald Draganski. Don is a fine composer, an excellent bassoonist, and a good friend. He ...
... Beyond interesting. It's glorious. First time I ever heard Dolphy was playing this. I knew he played a bunch of instruments but had no idea the bass...
Dolphy was interesting. He used to sit in Central park with whatever woodwinds he had handy and mimic bird calls. I think I read somewhere that is how he...
Thanks so much for posting this link! In 1962 I spent a couple of hours in my studio at Howard University playing bass clarinet duos with Eric. What amazed me...
Ken, I could not agree with you more. My "understated" comment about the clip being "interesting" was because I was so overwhelmed when I saw this performance...
Larry, I would be very interested in hearing more about your memories of the way Dolphy approached performance on bass clarinet and other horns. Dolphy strikes...
