Re: Help me buy a Bass Clarinet + Links

Thank you for all the replies!

First of all, I was wondering what a double register key was? I looked at the Ridenour, and I can see that it's more complex than any bass clarinet I've used (which are only the ones my school provides). Would I need/use the double register key? I'm still quite a novice player, so I'm not sure if it's best. Opinions? Hindrance vs. beneficial to learn to use? (I'm assuming it'll be good to get this model for the tuning slide too; I've never had one on a bass clarinet!)

Next, I'd also like to ask on opinions on neckstraps. Do you like them? Do they help you maybe play better, or is it just for comfort?

Also, I love Michael! He's such a funny person and is a great role model. I saw this:

And I was wondering if it would be wise to purchase the kit he featured (the one from musicmedic.com), but I'm not sure if I should since I've never tried to fix a bass clarinet before but having this kit may save me some money from getting it repaired because something won't play just because a screw is loose. Would it be okay to get this and learn to maintain my bass clarinet as such or just leave it to the experts?

Anyways, thank you so much! I appreciate the replies. You don't even know how excited I am to ask for a bass clarinet; my heart is practically bursting!

Hope to hear from you all soon! Thanks!
