Hi, Thanks to those who responded with opinions about the 1992 low C Buffet, which I have now play tested. I thought I'd share my thoughts: My verdict is that...

Thanks Lori, I called them Saturday morning and was able to speak to a nice man, who was very helpful. They have some great prices. I got the last GC 3 1/2...
You are correct, the V12 and Black Masters are strictly clarinet products. I have used several different mouthpieces over the last few years such as a...
Many of you have inquired about 1193 bass clarinets. I now have a few in stock. Sorry about the commercial message, I have lost track of how many people ...
Hello This is not about bass clarinet but maybe someone will know. A friend of mine is a tuba player and he was curious about something. He has a CC tuba. He...
Well, the physics is kind of explained -- oversimplified I'd say at the gsu physics site. For the gory details you really need to refer to Arthur Benade's...
Does anyone have any information about Tom's latest model BC, beyond what's on his web site (http://www.ridenourclarinetproducts.com/basspage.html)? Looks...
I purchased the new Lyrique bass back in January after a hunt for a relatively inexpensive bass. I auditioned it against his earlier TR147, a Leblanc Vito, a...
Hi I've been looking for some new reeds because I have always used vandoren but then I tried fibracell and it was such a better sound. So I was wondering if...
Well, I'm more of a tuba pllayer now than a bass clarinetist, so this is more my area of expertice. The F that he is getting is called a "ghost" partial. It's...
Thanks Adam. Someone else told me these are also called 'false notes'. I guess I wasn't clear enough with my question. We are looking for the acoustical...
Hmm...well, the lips need to vibrate at a frequency that is resonant with the legnth of the horn. The ghost partial is more resonant than other lip positions,...
Mark is right, the hyperphysics explanation is oversimplified, but what seems to be happening here is that you're getting a resonance in part of the instrument...
Re Tuba low notes. My understanding of the physics tubas and bass clarinets is that both are essentially tubes open to the air at one end, and with a sound...

Apologies for my last long and rather irrelevant post. The hyper physics reference explains things much better than my long winded waffle. I started to write a...

However, I, for one, enjoyed reading that post Kevin! Hilary ... From: Kevin Highley To: NewBassClarinetGroup@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 12, 2007 2:28...
I second that completely...even though it was a little off topic, it was still really interesting, both from a musical and physical point. It's one thing to...
Hopefully, no more Brendas! Walter Grabner Remember: _www.ouclarinetsymposium.org_ (http://www.ouclarinetsymposium.org) University of Oklahoma Symposium June...
I have a specific question re Lawrie Bloom Grabner Bass Clarinet Mouthpiece + a Bunch of Buffet Crampon Questions... (pertaining to restoration). Would...
... If there's any published, I'd be interested in hearing about it. Obviously music for multiple soprano clarinets could be played an octave down. Mozart and...
If you can afford it I would say give the LB mpc a go. You've got nothing to lose. Even if you don't like it you would probably be able to sell it at a good...

Kevin, no need to apologize. Although what you wrote was irelevant to my question, I'm sure it was interesting regardless for some people. Adam, I will...
I don't have experience with the LB but you can return it if you don't like it (unless I'm mistaken). I can try to answer some of your other questions. A...
