Re: Buffet Prestige Bass Clarinet's Dodgy Notes...

The most noticeable problem I have with the upper Eb is when slurring from open G up to the Eb (keeping the appropriate RH fingers down when playing open G) as the Eb felt hesitant and veiled by comparison to the open G. While I expect a difference in tone colour, I wasn't really expecting the not-so-good response, especially right in an exposed orchestral solo.

But it has been a fair while since I played bass in an orchestral setting and I spent time just playing the G-Eb interval to try to smooth things out.
