Well, I've joined the ranks of bass clari players today. I bought a used one from a music store going out of business. It's an old leblanc, 2-piece body. They had a plastic selmer, which I liked, but the leblanc had a sweeter sound. I'm going to take it in for a repair assessment (it hasn't been played in a long time) because the upper register is hard to hit and I think a pad is leaking (the instrument is pretty tight, but the repair man will know for sure). A newb question though, do I play it position-wise like a clarinet, or to the side like a sax? I suppose one could play it either way... Also, I assume I can just play my normal clarinet music with it for now, until I find some bass specific stuff, right?
