Re: Thoughts on best clarinet XXXtet to play string quartet music

How about 1 Eb, 1 Bb/A (doubling), 1 alto (or basset horn), 1 bass?
Eb can play the 1st violin's high notes while also extending down to the violin's lowest (concert pitch) note, the Bb/A clarinetist can play 2nd violin parts while being more in tune, alto can play the viola's range, and a bass clarinet down to low C can cover the cello's range.
If you have an A clarinet with a low Eb key, as full Boehms have, that can cover the range of the viola as well.
