Re: New contrabass clarinet

Unfortunately (and like the harp), the majority of town or city concert or wind bands lack the skilled players to play these instruments well, or even have any of the players that have these low reed instruments due to the high cost they command, so we have to do with a few low brass players (and again, there's only a few that can play and own bass trombones and tubas) that spare their time.

Competent bassoon, bass clarinet and bari sax players are pretty thin on the ground in most concert bands where I am.

And most of the very few specialist low reed players already have a busy schedule and get better paid work doing film soundtracks or any professional engagement that they won't turn down paid work to work with local wind or concert bands.
