Subj: Bass clarinets in A
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 15:15:35 -0500

Hi, everyone. I'm hoping that someone will be able to tell me how common
bass clarinets in A are. I'm playing bass for "The Noon Witch", and the
part is for bass in A. I don't think there are any A basses in New Zealand,
but I'm just wondering if they're still around. I know one or two numbers
in "Nutcracker" (the whole ballet, not the suite) are for bass in A, but
that's about all I've found for it. Anybody know anything?
Thanks
Anna
