Re: How many clarinets do you have? Part II

Hello all...

I have 3 old CG Conns.

1946 Conn 444n Soprano
1941 Conn 484n low Eb Bass
1953 Conn 482n low E Bass

I'm not endorsing old Conns by any means, just what I've ended up with at this time. So far I don't feel these 3 are holding me back just yet since returning to clarinet after a long layoff.

The 484n low Eb bass was my first clarinet and how I got started with clarinet long ago as a saxophonist's double. I'm sticking with clarinets and flute this time around.

The 482n low E bass I recently purchased as a backup, but am finding this short bass is a blast to play. (really...forward and audacious).

So recently I wanted to try to get the soprano together as bass had always been my main thing.
Sticking with the Conn theme....was fortunate (lucky) to find a 444n for cheap and in good shape on Ebay. My repairman was pleased for the both of us.
I've never yet tried another.....it's working for me. The better I play it the better it gets.

Oh sure, I want to try a Low Eb Selmer model 65 Privilege bass sometime, just so I know what that's like. But it would probably ruin the "Conn experience" for me and finances are a little edgy these days.

Sorry for the ramble, not just the list.....but it seems right to tell the back story.
