 Cheating your way to an extra low note
Author: karlbonner82

I'm curious if anyone has experience with extending the clarinet range down an extra semitone by "cheating;" that is, making the bottom note a semitone flat? Could you do it by partially covering or muffling the bell? And how much sound could you get out of something like that?

I seem to remember a saxophone fingering chart that included low A and instructed you to put your foot in the bell while fingering the Bb (seriously!).

And I have actually seen the low E in a few alto recorder parts, suggesting that this note is supposed to be attainable while still sounding loud enough to contribute to the overall ensemble and harmony structure.

Has anyone here experimented much with this idea?
