Re: Contrabass cl rental in NY?

Maybe so Ed, try Wright Music also.

Just a thought:
When I toured years ago with the Berio Ensemble, a contemporary music group. I insisted they have built instrument "trunks" that would insulate & protect out larger horns from any damage on the planes & trains on which we traveled. They may have been costly to build, but worked great!
You might consider having something like that made in Canada for your tour & any future travel plans for your group.
Many NYC touring groups use similar trunks for plane travel to protect their larger instruments, You probably won't be able to rent anything nearly as good as your players own instruments.
There are at least 10 EEb ConraALTO clarinet players with instruments here in town, and about 4 BBb ContraBASS clarinets that some of the guys have. Will they rent them...?
