Hi Walter! Lovin' that mouthpiece (non-solicited plug)!
The mouthpiece I used had a fairly open tip, although, on alto sax, I always
used a Couf medium facing, as I had to try to get a really middle of the
road sound (Not too jazzy, not too straight). I suspect that the Bass
Clarinet mouthpieces I have run into (mostly stock and Vandorens of various
numbers I cannot remember) were all pretty open.
Whatever happens, Adam, Keep us posted on how the gig turns out. As I take
on more students who are taking a stab at Bass, I will have to get back into
playing it myself. BTW, does your bass have extension keys? The last one I
used had them all the way down to concert Bb (I had to play the bass part
for Sorcerer's Apprentice! What a lot of practice time!).
Sorry Mark, for the incorrect URL. Will be more careful in the future.
Regards
Patty
