Re: A Tale of Two Selmer Bass Clarinet Necks

The more angled neck is indeed more comfortable. The only issue, is that the high C sharp and d have to sometimes played by lifting the left first finger, like the clarinet to get correct response. The normal angle neck allows the player to play these notes with the left first finger on the half-hole mechanism .I have had success professionally with both of these style necks, and played over 1200 performances of the Nutcracker with the arched neck because we played in a pit and the conductor was well above where I was seated.
