 Re: alto clari vs. basset horn

Most of the alto cl's I've seen and played are of larger bore, prob. to produce greater volume. I believe the LeBlanc alto [had one] is the largest and the Selmer-Paris [have one] is the smallest, but still larger than their Basset Horn. I can find bore diameters, but some catalogs may give them, for those who wish to compare/research. I try to think of my Sel as a Basset, and strive for it's distinctive tonalities. As to range/compass, because of the alto's one-note lower pitch, it is capable of all but the Basset's lowest C, and the transposition is the same as the trans of C parts for Bb playing, namely one full tone higher, add 2 #s or subt. 2 b's from the key signature. If a low C is encountered, extending the alto's bell by a tube is a possibility!! Have Fun. Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
