Re: Bass Clarinet Neck Angle

Author: LCL

I own and play a Selmer 67 with the steeper angled neck. Previously I played and still own a LeBlanc 430 with a flatter angled neck. I was a bit nervous when I saw the Selmer neck but adapted to it quickly and actually prefer it now. I have Varilux glasses that may help with the focal issues caused by the steeper angle for old folks like me. I also own a LeBlanc 340 paperclip contrabass and Selmer 40 contra-alto, each of which seem to have that steeper angle being debated here. I have no problems playing any of these!

Best wishes,

Lynn
