 Re: What do you think of the basset clarinet?

The only live performances I've heard on a basset clarinet used a standard A clarinet with an extension. I didn't hear the acoustical effect we're talking about here, but I sit in a seat that's quite a distance from the stage, where the orchestral blend is quite good but some of the raw amplitude I know the orchestra is producing is damped somewhat. I'm curious (a) if this quality of the basset notes' being "wildly out of character with the rest of the scale" is true of both the extensions and the instruments built as basset clarinets to begin with, and (b) whether, Liquorice, your experience when listening to a playback of a recording is consistent with what is heard in a concert hall, where the listeners are considerably farther away than the mics in a recording session?
