There's plenty of solo bass clarinet repertoire that goes up to at least the altissimo C. I've played a piece that gets to the E above that, and personally, I...
High Bb and C are used frequently in modern music ( sometime up to Eb or higher) they give expressive (?) colours and new range in expression. Many fingerings...
In Henri Bok's house? there are also some places that gold plate the instrument...I tink I got the list, but then my computer pretty much imploded, so can't...
Henri Bok said Selmer gold plated his neck. I think he especially ordered it from Selmer this way, and not had a silver neck replated later. He also claimed...
Enh...not to bring up brass again, but on brass horns, if it's silver, it tends to have a more naturally brighter tone (more like if you hear a trombone or...
I think you'd have to get it plated yourself. If its just the neck, that would constitute no big deal - just send it off for a few days to a plating shop. ...
Its very difficult to plate the inside of a neck - you'd only be plating the outside in most cases - so a strictly aesthetic move - it wouldn't tarnish, ...
Hi all, Yeah, Harry Sparnaay lent me his Gold neck for about a month a couple of years back. as far as i remember, it was made by a guy by the name of "Adams"...
I've been told there's someone in Maastricht, Netherlands that will custom make necks out of a variety of materials of your choice and for a decent price. I'm...
"The real question is, do you really want to sound like Henri? Oops... did I say that out loud...?" Lucky for him (oops... did I say that out loud too...?),...
If anyone wants a seriously low note, try a an old-style metal vacuum cleaner extension tube on a Leblanc contrabass paper-clip. Pop off the bell, attach the...
So that we're all on the same page, could someone define the different registers of the clarinet. I admit I may be a bit rusty on this and may have gotten...

I'm not Steve, but I've heard from several people (assuming you are looking for a place in the USA) that Anderson Plating is very recommended. They specilize, ...
Thank you all for responding with such emotion. I really appriciate it. Also , very good argument Nitai, I loved that post. I only asked because I like the...
I'm not Steve, either, but one of the Klarinet list members, Steve Fowler (http://www.fowlermusic.com), does plating, as well instrument repair. Jeff Chan...
www.woodwind.org has a section on fingerings for just about every clarinet imaginable, with pictures and names of the ranges - real handy for getting the...
Personal experience, my tubas can't be used for comparison because the school ones (gold brass) are in BBb and mine is in CC (silver)..different animals to...
i painted the bell of my instrument black because i don't care for the way the shiny silver bell sticks out visually from a large ensemble (being the only...
Any plating shop should be able to help. A couple things to keep in mind. First, they'll probably want to know the composition of the base metal. The horn's...
A web comic posted yesterday featured an old-time (like?) drawing of a very twisty bass clarinet. <http://www.marriedtothesea.com/010307/new-band-2008.gif> ...
... Too long to be a bass. The bell's way too long but otherwise it seems to resemble the Besson contrabass as seen at the Bate Collection in Oxford: ...

OK, I take back my previous comment - it could easily be based on that picture. ... From: Rich Holmes To: NewBassClarinetGroup@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday,...
Definitely a Bb contra given the size - looks like Albert system. The fact that this is a drawing of an Albert system Bb contra that looks totally unlike...
I wrote to the webcomic's author to ask ... and his reply, in full, was ... Well, that coincides pretty closely with the Besson contrabass date, anyway. - Rich...
