Re: Bass Clarinet in C?

Here is my BIG question, why would anyone want to buy a bass clarinet in C? I could never understand why someone would buy a bass clarinet in A but at least there's a good deal of orchestra music written for it, though I can't imagine having to have two bass clarinets on stage, so we all learn to transpose, not a big deal. As said above, the only music written for a C bass clarinet is because many scores are written in C and the publisher didn't bother transposing it to the proper instrument and even that's pretty rare. I remember that happening only once in my 48 career to date. ESP
