Subj: [kl] LeBlanc "Paper-Clip" Contra Bass question
Date: Sat, 21 Dec 2002 14:29:51 -0500

Question -

I am working on a LeBlanc paper-clip contra bass. I have the low register working well. The clarion register is a different matter, it wants to over blow an additional 12th.

I'm still looking for leaks, which could cause this, but it makes me wonder.

Does anyone out there play one of these where the clarion register comes out really well? Am I beating my head against the wall?

What does the repertoire require?
