Re: Aftermarket Low C Bass Clarinet Extensions

There's never been any doubt that I WAS NOT meant to play the bass clarinet (at 5' 8") --- but as the Chapter Chairman, "Champions of Lost Causes" (East Coast USA Region), I've always felt compelled to tilt at windmills, and attempt tasks far beyond my capabilities..........thus I play bass clarinet, despite being vertically configured for smaller instruments such as the Tarogato and Ab Sopranino Clarinet.

So, being resigned myself to having to sit on cushions whenever my low-C extension is attached, and whereas I don't like sitting on cushions, I therefore minimize my use of the extension. Problem solved.

By the way, unlike you tall guys, I don't have to order MY car without a sunroof to avoid hitting my head ---- so you see, every cloud has a silver-plated lining.....
