Extended Techniques on the Bass Clarinet

[@StephanVermeersch]

Very nice Luca, well done

[@cak6831]

I'm working on writing a bass clarinet solo for my friend to premiere at ClarinetFest this year and this was super helpful, thanks!

[@lucabbordonaro]

That's amazing! I'm so happy that this content is helpful! And I would love to hear the solo once it's out, please let me know once the performance is done if there will be a link to it!

I just purchased a bass clarinet (I played it years ago and took a long break) and I love all the techniques you mention here! I also used to play the didgeridoo but the circular breathing comes and goes for me, and I lost interest. So I am most excited to incorporate didge styles with the bass clarinet like you demonstrated here. Along with the slap sounds. I just want to get back to feeling musically inspired and your tips here help a lot, thank you!

Hi @sewinghippie! So cool that you play the didgeridoo. I'm super happy that this video was inspiring for you ☀ Let me know if you have questions or topics you would like me to cover. Songs, technical things or music in general! I'm happy to make videos that are super helpful for the audience! Ciaociao!

Great content, thank you very much! A little suggestion: it would be great if you could include some notation examples for us composers.

[@lucabbordonaro]

Thank you so much for your feedback! It makes a lot of sense! I will make a video with notation examples. Thanks! If you have any doubts feel free to reach out via email or Instagram! You can find the info in my channel

Bravo. Puoi fare qualche video sugli acuti?

[@lucabbordonaro]

Ciao Antonio! Grazie per il messaggio, ottima idea, lo aggiungo all alista dei topics da trattare! Se hai altri argomenti che ti interessano scrivi pure!!

My favorite was the multiphonics! Curious who the bass clarinetist is who said he never repairs his instrument. Is he one of the listed players in the description?

[@lucabbordonaro]

Multiphonics can be very challenging but such a cool color! Unfortunately they asked to be kept private, but with those references listed in the description you can find some crazy bass clarinet playing!

Hello ! What side key are you pressing for the broken harmonics ?

[@lucabbordonaro]

Hi! In the examples I am playing low notes (G-F#-F) and adding the first side key from the bottom (the D# one). Did you try it? 🔥
