Re: Tremolo A#4 to C#5

A modification of Chris' second idea may work here. Bari sax players lacking a low A will use a piece of PVC pipe in the bell (length decided by trial and error) and finger the Bb. The other notes (other than low Bb) are unaffected. I did this when I played bari.

It's a little trickier on a clarinet, not having gravity to hold the pipe in place, so you would need some spongy material on the outside, much like a trumpet mute, except that it needs to seal on the whole circumference. Best guess is 1" diameter, which is readily available.

This should also work for low Eb when transposing the low E on an A clarinet part.
