Re: Unknown Bass Clarinet Brand

Author: HANGARDUDE  Date:   2014-12-08 21:06 I personally own a Martin Foag Oehler system bass and I strongly prefer its sound more the French basses'. It sounds a lot more natural playing the late Romantic reperatoire and also sounds better in country and folk music(but regrettably not jazz), especially Tango. Furthermore the Oehler bass blends better with other clarinets(both German/French) and other woodwinds as well. I double on French clarinets and on the Oehler bass, and I am very happy with the combo, and changing between Oehler and Boehm systems is alright to me. However, such instruments need modification on tuning to make them work in American, British or other orchestras outside German, Netherlands and Austria. Also most of these instruments can be very costly(at 20K USD) except Martin Foag's instrument(11K USD). If you like the sound of the Oehler bass and need some help on choosing, contact me as you please! Josh
