 Contrabass Clarinet and Contrabassoon
Author: ContrabassLover

I play both bass clarinet and bassoon and have the option of switching to either one of these for concert season. I'm sort of biased in favor of the clarinet family as I think clarinets are the best instruments ever created but I also love my double reed instruments.

Any suggestions or recommendations on which I should choose? Typically do they get the same music?

I'm leaning towards contrabass clarinet. We have a paperclip that goes to low c and plays well for the time I tried it one day. The contrabassoon hasn't been used in a while but I love the sound too.
