Re: Altissimo on bass clarinet

If it's a 1996 Selmer Paris bass clarinet then it's about as good as anything available now and isn't considered old. Any problem is probably something that needs to be repaired and pretty much anything can be.

If you can play up to altissimo G without problems then it's likely there isn't a huge problem. If you can't play above that then that is unlikely to be an adjustment/leak/mouthpiece problem but those are still possibilities. It's best to have it checked by another good bass clarinet player and/or a good repairer.

Are you sure you are using the correct fingering above altissimo G?

If you actually meant the G just above the staff then that is the area most affected by a leak at the top of the instrument.
