Re: Mouthpiece for Boosey & Hawkes Bb Bass Clarinet

As ebonite is a more stable material than wood in that it's impervious to humidity changes, the likelyhood is they will play as well as when they were finished, whereas the tone on wooden ones can change over time. Ebonite discolours to some degree or other with exposure to sunlight and heat.

A low Eb bass will fit into a case exactly the same size as an alto sax box or lightweight case. There are plenty of lightweight semi-rigid cases on the market, but you will have to check which one this bass will be a good fit in, although the insides are usually made from soft foam that conforms to the joint lengths and widths.

Isn't there an attachment on the bottom of the bell bow for a screw in floor spike on your bass? I can't see from this photo as it's been cropped:
