Re: Eb or Bass clarinet?

As a music librarian, I've found that there is ALWAYS a score for bass clarinet and there is rarely a score for Eb unless the music is quite old. Rarely in modern music is there a part for Eb clarinet. HOWEVER, Eb is a blast to play IF you have small fingers. The fellow who plays 1st clarinet with me can't play the Eb because his hands are too big. On the other hand, I was asked to play Bass clarinet for a musical theater gig and couldn't because my hands are too small and I'm too short. I'd suggest playing both for a couple of weeks before committing. Listening to, and taking the advice from your teacher is always prudent.
