 Re: Clarion Timbre on Bass Clarinet

Assuming with Paul that this is your first experience with bass clarinet, it's at least as important as it is on soprano clarinet to be sure you aren't fighting your equipment. It's important to have a mouthpiece and reeds that are functional, which may mean getting the opinion of a player with more bass experience about something that will work, knowing that you can always make changes after your bass chops are more established and you know what you're looking for.

Also, it should go without saying, the instrument needs to be in good working condition. Any compensations you may be making just to get the clarion notes to speak on a balky instrument may cause some of the issues you've mentioned. The fact that the low register comes out strongly doesn't guarantee a well-adjusted instrument.

Bass clarinet can be much fussier than a Bb clarinet about pretty much everything.
