Re: Building a bass clarinet on a shoe string

Thanks that's really useful to know. I had no idea about that. I'll look out for the right parts then.

I'm not heading for an ensemble of any kind. I'm trying to treat a breathing pattern disorder, by using the instrument as my breathing exercise. I've been using a B flat clarinet up to now, but I realised that the lowest notes of the clarinet were by far the most effective for my purpose and started to wonder if a deeper instrument would be even better.

The person in my local shop let me try a bass clarinet, and it was just about the best thing I've ever experienced, just making a sound with it, irrespective of whether it was a musical sound or not. I find it very relaxing and that is a good thing as I'm quite highly strung. Anyway, the price of an actual instrument is way beyond my means, but I thought if I could scratch together some second hand parts to buy a working set up then that would be very nice.

So far I have the middle bit, and I will now look out for the parts that you suggest. I'm lucky to live close to a big woodwind instrument shop, so maybe they can help.

Thanks for your advice. It is really helpful.
