Re: How to hold a bass clarinet

I've always used a peg and if I felt insecure on a given passage I would hold the bell between my crossed feet. Because I use an old Selmer the neck is not as acute as the newer models so I would hold my neck back at an angle to get the mouthpiece placed better, Not as much as a clarinet, but certianlly not like a sax. It's finding the comfortable place for the best result. With the newer necks there's no reason to hold ones neck back.
