Subj: Re: Using tenor sax reeds on bass cl.
Date: Thu, 19 May 1994 02:12:00 -0400

``I was wondering what y'all think about using tenor sax reeds on a bass
clarinet.''

Well, in high school I dug out the contralto that was languishing
on the shelf and found a box of bari sax reeds, and found the
resonant frequency of the band room.

I then started playing duets with a sax player (who dug out a
bari sax) and we realized that a duet written up here (gesture)
and played two octaves below where it was written (gesture) can
sound really, really weird.

Then the band director came and chased us out, and made us go
back to sorting music..
