I wonder if any of you have a suggestion for a height-challenged Bass
clarinetist. I lower the pad on my new Buffet low-C as low as it goes, yet
the position of the mouthpiece is untenable and my neck is bent oddly. It
works ok if I sit on a thick telephone book (Boston or larger). Any
suggestions? Would the Bay neck help? Thanks.
