 Re: For you Soprano Bb Purists

As a former band director, I used to let anyone switch from soprano to bass clarinet who wanted to, and quite often it was a "one way street" with a long waiting line. My bass clarinets never rested on the shelf for long and most kids who played for more than a year learned to play from the low Eb up to D6 with relative ease (in spite of the Bundy's and Vito's). All Selmer mouthpieces helped......

Personally, bass clarineting is just the most fun. Also, it seems to make playing all my other ww doubles easier as well--soprano cls, sax & flute. Probably because it forces me to think more about breath control and voicing which is such a critical part of playing in the clarion register. I love it and enjoy every downbeat on bass.
