 Re: What do you think of the basset clarinet?

I feel that sometimes there is a problem when the basset notes of an instrument are wildly out of character with the rest of the scale, almost a "honking" timbre.
Of course whether this is mainly down to the player or the instrument is less easy to determine.
I feel that more recently made basset clarinets do seem to encourage a more even scale throughout the range.

I wonder if the limited number of basset instruments a player has to choose from also plays into this, compared to the vastly larger selection of Bb/A clarinets a professional has to compare and choose from.
