∙ 15y agoSame as a Clarinet be carefull that the cork from the bell or the body get damaged so lubricate it often. You could polish it(you dont have to)so you can conserve the silver coat on it and it will prevent it from rusting.

∙ 11y agoMost bass clarinets come with a ring at the bottom to hold a metal rod to help with support. There is also a thumb rest on the back, and some players use a neck strap similar to a Saxophone's As for finger positions, there are metal rings over the holes on the front to delineate finger positions.

Why do bass clarinets play in orchestras?
Bass clarinets play in orchestras because orchestras sometimes play pieces that are scored for bass clarinet, or have bass clarinet parts in it. One example of a piece like that is The Rite Of Spring, by Igor Stravinsky. It has significant solos and duets by the bass clarinet, and "the show cannot go on" without the bass clarinet. But most pieces, do not have bass clarinet parts, so the bass clarinet is rarely seen in orchestras today.
