Welcome back to another fun-filled season of bass clarinet nonsense. Let's get started!

[@alleewillis]

I co-wrote "September" and this is fantastic!!

[@earspasm]

Allee Willis OMG! It is an insane honor to hear from you Allee. You're a hero of mine. This and "In The Stone" are two of my favorite tunes. (BTW, I also heard from Charlene Stepney, Charles Stepney's daughter. "...Do you remember..." her?)

[@dorianvaughn4241]

How is this not trending?

[@chrismontoya7831]

Sean McGowan because (most) people are stupid.

[@MacGwEEkly]

Chris Montoya agreed

[@BassEVG]

Serious answer - he doesn't have a lot of subscribers, and this video is rather new. If we want it to get trending, we have to spread this over multiple social media platforms.

[@AlexRamirez-bf4fy]

My favorite thing to do on bass clarinet is taking off the mouthpiece and buzzing into the neck and playing it like if it was a didgeridoo .

[@freshlysqueezedaesthetics2942]

Alex Ramirez Can you do the same on tenor?

[@AlexRamirez-bf4fy]

No because the saxophone is conical whereas the bass clarinet is cylindrical.

[@Ninjapants237]

Alex Ramirez I LOVE DO TO DO THAT

[@anonymousally9783]

What I do is put the neck on the bell and play it like a battle horn.

[@tctflower]

Wish I had the dedication and other bass clarinets to play it with! The frustration!!!!!

[@RedForceProductions]

Not only is the playing amazing, but that has to be the sexiest bass clarinet I've ever seen.

[@James.D.B.]

Yeah that right there is a real good model, I don't know what it's called, but I believe it is his low C bass clarinet that was $18,000, I am currently working to get a Kessler student model version 2 Low C bass clarinet, it is the same quality according to him, and it's at the farm more affordable price of about $3,000

[@alonelytuba]

I can't understand how anyone can dislike this cool guy/tremendous arrangement and playing!

[@zarboaudioprojects1430]

Yeah, maybe they accidentally hit the wrong 'thumb' this song is awesome! Maybe I should have kept playing the clarinette when I was a kid.

It's a shame because the bass clarinet (especially with a low Bb) has the widest range other than the bassoon. But let's be real, the bass clarinet is the king of low reeds 😎😎

In my school I am only one of two bass clarinets in our entire 3 bands. I really love it, since the bass clarinet imo is fun to play on and I love the sound. I also feel unique when I play it as well. I like it more than the Bb Clarinet since I was playing with a large group of them, which I sometimes didn't like.
