I am looking for the same as there is not much
available I am aware of, however, what I do is play
the instrument as U would most Bass Clarinets in my
position as a composer and improvisor. I also use it
to double as a bass player when string bass is not
present or the left hand of a piano is not there and
I'm not playing any clarinet.

I do not know if this helps, but you said any info. I
treat it as a bass clarinet one octave lower but bare
in mind that it must be "reeded" played, adjusted or
repaired and voiced accordingly.
