Re: Bass Clarinet in C?

If and when you may be able to read [and view figures in ] Al Rice's fine "paper" presented in Edinburgh a few weeks ago, or just ask Al, I believe he makes mention of some C basses in the ancestry from Sax to 1900. Like the discarding of the C Melody sax and the minimal use of the C Sop cl [anymore], possibly the Bb and Eb horns have won out in the marketplace, because of the similarities of reading/fingering/sounding of the notes. Just my AM thots. Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
