Re: doubling on bass clarinet

I've never had a problem. Just try it a few times going from one to the other quickly at home and you won't have a problem in public. There are a couple of instruments which are difficult to change between quickly (bari sax to piccolo flute is a nasty one) but as long as you hvae at least a couple of bars rest there is generally no problem. As the others have said, no secret except a bit of practice before hand. Learning both at once isn't a problem and sometimes can be an advantage because you start to listen to your own tuning more, rather than accepting, 'that is an A' because that is the way it sounds on that instrument. It won't sound the same on a different instrument, one or both is therefore out of tune.
