Hi Kilo,
I noticed it early on too, when I started playing the deepest notes on the Bb clarinet, and loved it. That's why I decided to learn the instrument.
I haven't been finding it so relaxing recently, and I realise now that the further on I go through the grades, the higher up the notes go and the faster the music is. Now that I'm approaching altissimo and playing like the clappers, it's not at all the same as just noodling around with long notes in the low chalumeau.
I think I need a rethink about exactly what I actually play on my Bb.
At the beginning I did try an actual bass clarinet, and it was wondefully therapeutic, but after 5 years financing a Bb clarinet habit, I look at the Bass clarinet price tag through very different eyes.
