Hello everybody I am looking for the piece Drei Gestalten by Johannes Paul Thilmann for bass clarinet and piano. I have the bass clarinet part but am missing...
I'm having trouble getting the side key alternate fingerings on my Selmer Low C to play in tune. The middle line treble clef B-flat (A key and second highest...
Those fingerings for B and C are meant to be trill fingerings. I doubt if they're in tune on many instruments. If you need in tune notes, you need to use the...
it is possible to reduce the cork height under these keys, therefore allowing the key to raise Higher off the tonehole, thus raising the pitch. I had a similar...
Re the comment on opening the keys more, that might be true but not necessarily. At some point opening the keys more won't affect intonation anymore but worth...
CSUS - California State University Sacramento http://www.csus.edu/music/ - has a bass clarinet major . I'm doing it myself right now. Contact the clarinet...
Folks: I am always surprised to find out that a lot of people still aren't aware that we published a Volume Three to my Symphonic Repertoire for the Bass...
Michael, I'm so looking forward to Volume 4. The first three are amazing. Thanks for these books. Ledonna ... From: Michael Drapkin <michael@...> ...

Not sure how many of the members of this group are going on this, although I know our leader/ tutor Sarah Watts is on this group. Please feel free to email me...
Anybody know where I can rent a low C bass near Seattle (or that would ship)? I'm playing a bassoon part for Man of La Mancha, and it would be hand to have. ...
Does anyone have access to the bass clarinet part to the symphonic band arrangement entitled "Marvin Hamlisch showcase". We were handed out the parts tonight...
one option would be to get the score and (gasp!) hand transcribe the bass part sent from my glitchy iPhone On Mar 19, 2009, at 6:08 PM, Nick Phillips...
Nick; I don't have tha part, but you could do what our Jr. High does in this situation: copy the score and cut and paste the part together. Better still,...
It seems to me that the current bass clarinet I am trying (an older Leblanc) would be easier to handle if the thumb rest was U shaped instead of L shaped. In...
I totally agree, Gary. Years ago I had a local brass intrument tech copy the U-shaped thumb rest from my ancient Buffet bass clarinet to replace the ridiculous...
As one of the students mentioned below, I add my agreement! Larry's thumbrest helped stabilize the instrument and made playing much more reliable for me. Ron...
Interesting. In all the years I've been plaing bass (or contra-alto or contra-bass), I've never used a neck strap with a peg. I always thought it was one...
I think this depends on how the instrument balances. If you can control the instrument that is great, I don't have any problems using just a peg on my Buffet...

I also have an old Leblanc with the kind of thumb rest you describe. Not only is it uncomfortable in terms of its construction, I found that its position made...
On your own instrument you could have it placed exactly where you want it. If Larry is willing to have some more made, I would rather not do anything that...
There is a peg on the "new" (about 12 years old now) Buffet alto clarinet design. It is really a wonderful instrument. The main problem I have with it is that...
Thanks for the interest. I'll try to get in touch with my tech and see if he is still interested in making some up. When I get his go-ahead and price estimate...
My experience with soprano clarinet thumb rests is that (a) my first idea about where I want it isn’t necessarily the best spot and (b) my ideas about where...
As prob. most of you know, on our Cl Bulletin Board we seemingly discuss thumb rests several times a year, usually concluding with a choice between adjustables...
