Re: Eb Contrabass Clarinet Issues

Author: Apersonn  Date:   2019-10-29 05:37 Sorry for a bit of a necro, but UPDATE I now have a 2.75 strength synthetic reed for the contrabass. Yes, I know, it's way too strong a reed for the instrument. But might I note that those low-clarino notes are now much easier to hit without squeaking and that the overall tone of the instrument is WAY firmer and steadier with the new reed. Admittedly, the throat tones are now even worse (although the airiness is a steady, consistent one), and it now takes way more air to play, but I see this as an improvement over the previous issues I had, replacing them with ones easier to remedy without much effort, and I can only imagine how great the sound will be once we can repair the metal Leblanc I am using now or borrow one already in good condition. I also got a synthetic reed to try out on Bass Clarinet, and I am excited for tomorrow when I will be able to try it out.
