Anyone knows who can convert an A clarinet into a basset? I think S. Fox does this, but I would prefer someone in the US.

Tom ridenour offers a custom fit basset extension and for under $1200. You can find more info here:

Based off of the reviews of his other instruments I would say its a great option.

Will he do it for a B-flat?
How about an E-flat sopranino. That would almost take it to the lowest note of an B-flat.

Steven Fox converted a B-flat to basset for me and did a great job.

Ridenour no longer offers the basset extension.
Liquorice, do you mind if I ask how much did you pay?

Stephen converted an A clarinet lower joint to basset for me and likewise did a great job.
>How about an E-flat sopranino.
If you ever convert an Eb clarinet to basset, the word will get out and composers might start writing for such an instrument. I noticed basset A clarinet being called for in contemporary pieces around the time it became more common to do the Mozart clarinet concerto on basset. Funnily, soon after I got my basset A clarinet for a run of Mozart concerti, my contemporary ensemble played a piece which called for basset A clarinet (Thomas Ades' Chamber Symphony).

you wonder if getting something like Vento A/basset combo, re-padding and tuning/undercutting could be a better option?
