Hi Dan, and thanks for your help.
I were invited to attend the Bass clarinet auditions at Jacksonville SO
(Florida).
The instrument I have is from the Brazilian Symphony and I can't travel with
it.
I could try to ask some friends but I am not shure I could get a low C bass
clarinet.
For that reason I have been wondering if is possible to rent some one.
Thanks for your help.

All the best

Fernando
