Re: new bass clarinet neck

Josef Horak showed me what he did:

Sit a little forward in the chair.
Put your right heel against the right front chair leg.
Put the floor peg in the "V" between your heel and the chair leg.
Lean the instrument to the left and rotate the mouthpiece to bring the reed level.

You could also sit at the front edge of the chair and move the floor peg back as far as possible.

Or raise the music stand almost to eye level and rotate it back almost horizontal, so you can see the conductor.

Or turn your chair at an angle so you can see around the BC. That's the only way you can play contra. Watch what the tuba players do.
