Please don't forget that there are some original compositions by Stadler for
the A basset and that Allen Hacker comissioned a couple of pieces for it.
Last and least I should add that I have written quite a few chamber ensemble
pieces including A-bassett parts I played myself, even though my own bassett
clarinet (a full Oehler by Rolf Meinel) is not quite up to the standard of
my fovourite C, B, A clarinets.

Best wishes,
danyel

Isn't it at least two works for the basset? And then at least one (Cosi?
Tito?) for the basset in Bb?

So now I can buy a low C basset clarinet in A from the dominant
manufacturers (Buffet, Leblanc, and Selmer), which has only one piece of
music written for it, however I cannot buy a bass clarinet in A at all
which has a significant (Not that K.622 isn't significant.) repertoire
written for it. Considering the current emphasis on period/original
instrument performance practice this seems a little strange. Has anyone
called any non dominant manufacturer to inform them of the gap in the
market? I was thinking Wurlitzer would be a good option.

Selmer no longer makes an A Bass clarinet, not even on special order, so
it now bewcomes impossible to purchase one new. Mark
