I can see you like eefer too. It's time this instrument got all it's props
and reclaimed it's place amongst the stars.

> I have noticed that after a week of really intense rehearsals , or a
weekend full of weddings or Bar Mitvahs, that a few hrs. on the bass
clarinet really makes my face feel good. I live near the Famed National rt.
40, on the toll schedule it charged tolls based on the width of the wheels,
thiner wheels payed higher tolls. Wheels over 8 inches were free. That was
because any ruts that were made in the mud road were filled in when the 8
inch wheels ran over them. I guess the Bass Clarinet has the same effect.

Eb players and the rest of the group. All I know is before there was prozac
Eb clarinet was way more fun!!!!
