Re: Bass clarinet questions...when to get a new mp and practice suggestions

Thanks for the added advice. I know for sure there is an issue with the register keys system (so obvious, I did not even ask advice on that one.. it appears to kind of 'stick' but eventually opens up with a little patience)... but I'm glad to know it might be having an impact on that note as well.

I'll definitely get the horn checked so have no worries on that end. Re: the MP, while I will try new ones, I never throw anything away (my favorite Bb MP is an old 30+ yo Selmer B* old but it works for me).

I know some bass players and will have them check out the horn too (post repair!). I figure that will let me know what kind of sound I can aim for.

Thanks to all of you for your time & very useful advice. It is encouraging (that bass for dummies article was also very helpful...I learned a lot)
