Thank you for sharing J.!!!

I thought I was the only other odd man out here in clarinet world who played
only the bass and eefer!

I have a friend who's the principal Bb there in your orchestra. I would to
chat with you more in depth about these instruments. I'm looking to play
more contralto these days because this instrument is a wonderful instrument.
