The inky sound coming out of that beautiful instrument ❤️❤️❤️

[@jensenschumacher9421]

It’s the deep rich sound 😍

[@trevorlane]

I haven't picked up bass clarinet in over 30 years, but the resonance rumble feel over those lower registers coursing through you is unmistakable. it's a core memory for me and now I want to pick it back up.

[@SilviaInsaLlopis]

[@zerodeaths2343]

amazing sound. what’s your setup?

[@SilviaInsaLlopis]

Selmer Privilège bass clarinet. BD5 Vandoren mouthpiece. Thanks!

[@ghuuyy-du9mf]

Amazing! What reed do you use?

[@SilviaInsaLlopis]

Vandoren V12

[@zerodeaths2343]

@@SilviaInsaLlopis Question, when you play louder, do you hear any shrill reedy sounds? I was wondering if that was something only the player could hear and isn’t audible in the tone everyone else hears. Everything I try to get rid of it doesn’t work, a different angle, different reed and reed size, or different mouthpiece. Is that a part of the instrument or is it fixable?

Isn't that shoshtokovich wrote the Lengthiest excerpt for bass clarinet ever.?

[@SilviaInsaLlopis]

Sure!! Wagner also likes long phrases with bass clarinet, always give a touch of mistery and depth.

[@mayankprajapat4591]

@@SilviaInsaLlopis Yess, bass clarinet is so mysterious. My favorite excerpt is from Stravinsky's rite of spring, just before the sacrificial dance.

[@ZackSansing]

@@SilviaInsaLlopis How many times have you played the Rite of Spring and all the mahler symphonies?

[@SilviaInsaLlopis]

Several times, next season we will play the rite of spring. ❤

[@ZackSansing]

@@SilviaInsaLlopis can you please upload the video.

[@StevenHaggis]

Not Shostakovich's best moment!!

[@SilviaInsaLlopis]

Maybe isn't Shostakovich best moment but there is one of more difficult bass clarinet orchestral excerps. 😅

[@StevenHaggis]

@@SilviaInsaLlopis Really? Where's the difficult part?

[@SilviaInsaLlopis]

Long phrases and breathing. Always this is more difficult than playing a thousand notes, at least for me.

[@Jaujau933]

Uh ????? 🤪
