That's funny, I feel the throat tones on the bass clarinet are the warmest
sounds on the horn.

Then Chris writes:
Hmmm......interesting point, but I love the throat tones on my bass
clarinet. I must be weird! ;o)

Then Shouryu thinks:
*Gee...now that I think back, I didn't start getting annoyed with the
throat tones until I came to college...and all I've been able to play here
are these out-of-adjustment LeBlancs...but I vaguely remember liking the
throat in high school...oh yeah, I had a beautiful Buffet that was well
adjusted there!*

Thanks for reminding me - the last two years have sort of conditioned me
the other way, it seems.
(It's funny though - I should have caught on sooner, because I still like
the throat on the contra clarinets! ^_^ )
