Re: Bass clarinet register experiment

Stall! That's the word I was looking for.

I've gone up to a Vandoren Java tenor sax 3 and this works better.

I've been playing on too soft a reed (for too long) which I thought was the trick, though I don't want to use a harder reed than the Java 3.

With the waxed in speaker hole I've opened it to about 3.2mm.

Recently I have noticed I've gone up to slightly harder reeds across the board - maybe since I've got into doing a lot more clarinet playing recently has done my chops a power of good, though I don't want to go overboard and use floorboards like I once did (Rico Royal 4 on bari sax! I'm using standard Vandoren 2.5 reeds on bari now).

I can play the excerpt much easier though.

I wonder how a conical speaker tube would work (tapering towards the pad)? Maybe with a 3mm hole at the pad expanding to a 4mm exit at the crook end, or maybe an hourglass shape like the throat Bb/lower speaker vent bush.
