Re: Bass Clarinet in C?

Rendall (in the 1971 edition edited by Bate) says "The bass in C has long been extinct; that in A is dying a lingering death." As for reasons to want one -- well, some people just want to have one of everything; and some amateurs might want to play off concert pitch music without having to devote themselves to learning sight transposition. I'd probably fall into that category, but even if C basses were available, I'm sure I wouldn't have the money for one...
