Re: Problems with bass clarinet

Thanks for the advice. I forgot (to my regret) to mention that the bass I'm playing on now is a "loaner" from a school until I recieve a reconditioned bass clarinet that should be arriving in the mail any day now. The community orchestra is the one who ordered the bass clarinet (thanks to the mayor of our town for making us their OFFICIAL orchestra and giving us an annual budget of $20,000 for music, needed instruments, repairs, and whatever else we would need the money for!). If what Ken says is the problem, then hopefully it will just be avoided on the new bass that I'll be signing out to practice and perform on. I will however switch to a vandoren instead of the Rico in case this doesn't solve it. And eventually I might pick up a good bass mouthpiece (I already heard of some good makers out there so no further postings about that are necessary). I figure even if bass isn't my main instrument, and even if I may never own one, it wouldn't hurt to have a mpc in case another situation like this comes along where I'm asked to play bass.

Thanks all. Happy clarinetting!
