Re: Self-taught contrabass

A picture of the little tube you're talking about really would help. I have a Selmer Paris Rosewood EEb contra-alto and a Leblanc Paris Paperclip BBb contrabass and really have not encountred your problem. But, although the instruments may be able to play in the range you referred to, most of the parts are low notes. These horns were designed to give the band bottom. I have played contras since 1963 as a student and do so regularly in the community band setting. May I suggest that you take the horn to a good technician to see if there is a leak.

Good luck!
