 Re: Low C vs Low Eb Bass Clarinets

Depends on the repetoire, but most wind esembles here in Germany or the neighboring Netherlands employ the low C bass clarinet.
One grand concert band work is The Lord of the Rings Symphony by de Meij. he recently even extended that work with one or two additional movements (adding a choir and whatnot). There's probably many older works that too include the low D/C. Even some grade IV works require the low C. All bands at a competion our orchestra attended had low C basses. So there you have it. Hardly seen a band with only low Eb basses.

Good 'ol Percy Grainger or Gustav Holst didn't write for basses that low. Experts here will know when the lower basses first appeared.

OP, you're certainly aware of the plastic/ ebonite basses, which are quite decent, too.


Best regards
Christian
