 Re: Do I really need an A clarinet?

I've used my A instrument a few times in concert band, transposing passages in orchestra transcriptions to an easier key. Back when I used to play for folk dancing, the A came in handy quite often.

Bass clarinet in A would come in handy now and then, but probably not often enough for most of us to justify what one costs.

I'm supposing that a lot of players would like to have a B oboe or a D alto sax or something along those lines for when [stuff] gets real. I wonder if this is why the Db piccolo used to be required so often in band music.
