Interesting. I never knew about saxonettes before now. Guess you really do learn something new everyday, don't you? I'd barely be able to play one, I think, on account of my long fingers. I was thinking that the curved bell would be "better" for soloists, but I am, by no means, an acoustics expert, and the resonation off the floor makes sense.
In response to jnk's first comment, I've been playing clarinet for a relatively short time (about 6 years), and bass clarinet for 1/2 of that time, so I forgot about how the sound of most notes come out of the tone holes of the instrument.
Anyway, thanks for all your responses! It was great to get opinions from fellow clarinettists on my idea.
