Mojo,

Nice list.

I am using the peg and a strap as well as I find it really gives me a very stable platform plus the security of knowing "my bass is always hooked." At first I used a bari harness but it was just not quite long enough. Recently, I picked up a Neotech XL strap with a swivel, snap hook. It is long enough and pretty inexpensive.

Also, I have done more embouchure experimentation on bass clarinet that I ever did on soprano clarinet or any of the saxophones. Getting the right reed and MP combination is critical. Currently, I am alternating between a Grabner CX BB 90 and a Garrett MO. I've tried several Selmer C*s, a VD B50, and a Portnoy with a good deal of success.

Reeds are Legere' 2-2 1/2 and VD 2 1/2 to 3. Rico Concert Grand reeds work well also.
