It's always nice to see the alto clarinet get some respect. I hope it can become common again someday, because I find scoring for clarinet section much more satisfactory when alto clarinet is included.

@sashakindel36008 жыл бұрын
I'd say contrabass clarinets are in a much better place than altos, at least: when ensembles don't have a contrabass, it's not because they don't want one, while altos...they don't think they want. I have no doubt contrabasses will continue to grow in popularity, but the future of the alto is uncertain.

I got my first woodwind when I was 58. I had played brass keys, and strings for 50 years. I purchased a bass clarinet on a whim. … and The bass clarinet player in me came out and I actually was able to understand the instrument. I bought a few clarinets and a few alto saxophones , and a tenor sax. Never knock those 15 $Clariphones.( you didn’t) I bought 2 of them and my son and I played around with them and I could hear he had a better grasp- that’s when I got the saxes - he’s now a sax player and I’m bidding on an alto clarinet. I enjoyed your presentation and I’m glad to see a person whose fave instrument is a bass clari. It’s the mellow counterpart to the baritone sax.
