Coming from years of playing bass clarinet, I find alto clarinet to be easy and quite pleasant to play (though I have very few opportunities to do so). My alto is a 1950's-vintage Kohlert-Winnenden, Germany instrument, essentially a miniature carbon copy of my bass clarinet, and it plays very nicely, I think. In contrast, a member of the quartet I play in, who in the past has only played soprano clarinet, is now playing this very instrument in our group and has been struggling with it for more than a month, not having fully adjusted to its feel and timbre. The moral of the story is, it all depends on what you're used to. Alto clarinet need not be the step-child of any family.
