 Re: Low C vs Low Eb Bass Clarinets

My selmer bass clarinet was originally a low Eb instrument, but I had it converted to low C after I had been playing it for a few years. The tonehole parameters for the extension were based on an actual low-C instrument, so it is now equivalent acoustically to a factory-built selmer low C. This means that I can compare apples with apples, as I am comparing the same instrument in a low Eb and low C configuration.
I didn't notice any major changes in resonance after the conversion---in fact, it was very resonant throughout the range as a low Eb instrument, as it is now as a low C. The only note that sounded different was low Eb, which was very much improved in sound and intonation after the conversion. Apart from that, there were minor improvements in the intonation of low E/B and F/C.
