My roommate plays the contra quite well, actually; our band directors now
basically expect him to play it! I have to agree with you, though: the
lower clarinets are really tough to play, considering they require so much
more air. I attempted to play the contra once -- no luck. Even the Bb
bass clarinet proved to be rather difficult to me.... maybe its because I
have played clarinet my entire musical career that I have adjusted to that
and that alone... who knows?!?
