If I can chime in -- and risk getting flamed -- I have to say that there are precious few schools interested in forwarding the instrument in its own right. But...

My suggestion is one possibility that does not discount the option of faulty equipment. With all due respect, my tendencies toward sharpness in vocal ...
Thanks for the advice but I AM getting my degree in Bass Clarinet and not regular clarinet which apparently might have screwed me at the moment. (just to clear...
I played this last year and actually just rehearsed it again tonight for an upcoming concert. There is no shortcut fingering for either note, you just have to...
Hi, Bass Clarinet Group, I just saw a listing on eBay for a Winston bass clarinet to low C. I have never heard of a Winston anything (other than cigarettes,...
Just like to say that my new Grabner Personal bass mouthpiece has pretty much lived up to every expectation I had... It has a HUGE sound!! I love being able...
Does anyone know of anywhere to buy a Sprigg's ligature? I've checked the major online retailers, local stores, and eBay and have found nothing. And when I do...
Yeah, so that figures... I've been looking around for a couple days with no luck and as soon as I post this I finally find his webpage... ... checked ... Aage,...
Hey All! Well first of I was wondering if any one has seen the new reed case by the David Cane company? I was wondering what people thought of the 'inovation'...
I bought Spriggs ligatures for bass and Bb clarinet direct from Peter Spriggs. I called him at the phone number on his website and ordered over the phone. The...
Which is the proper name for this instrument? I've always called it a contra-alto, because a. that's what the manufacturers all call it and b. it seems...
Both. Life isn't always that simple! Matthew ... From: NewBassClarinetGroup@yahoogroups.com [mailto:NewBassClarinetGroup@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Andy ...
Both are right (Kind of like how killer whale and orca are the same thing...weird analogy) Having said that, contra-alto seems to be the most commonly used...
It would be sensible to re-name the bass clarinet as a tenor, then call the EEb a bass, and leave the BBb as the contra bass. Life isn't sensible; we are...
Kevin - You say it very well, I'm in agreement with a possible naming revision, just makes more sense. Some people object to calling all of the low cls, ...
Ah, but to really throw a spanner in the works... Rendell talks of a tenor clarinet in F. Not a basset horn (which is of course normally also in F) but a tenor...
I'd just like some clarificaiton here. If you're playing sharp across the board, doesn't that mean you haven't tuned correctly? Does it mean instead that your...
I usually just refer to them as a Bb Contra or Eb Contra, its short yet clear. IMO, Its kind of pointless to go beyond a BBb contra that goes to low C. That...
I don't want to get into what motivations the different companies may have had (as I am not qualified to speak to that). However, I can say that when I first...
Hey Nancy, I actually live near the store that is listing this Bass. I went and tried it out... It's made in China.... the sound is ok.... the Low C sounds...
I play in a community college band (much more community than college). The clarinet section has been stronger than usual this semester and it occurred to me...
Gary The community college where I worked got a Selmer USA two years ago. It is a good instrument for the money. I had borrowed one (older, but same actual...
As I understand it, Selmer really only has one line for Eb contras, and that Selmer Paris Rosewood and Bundy Contras are identical except that one is made of...
