∙ 12y agoit depends on the maker, the only makers of the Contrabass Clarinet in BBb are Vito and Selmer (there may be others but I have not heard of them)
Vito: about $3,000, made of plastic and terrible instruments but the body is durable for both indoor and outdoor performance
Selmer: $23,000, 2 piece body, made of rosewood, immensely fine key-work should only be used in climate controlled locations

∙ 13y agoAround $3,999 to buy a new one from the stores, but on eBay it could auction for like $400

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the kind of Saxophone you get. A Yamaha could be anywhere from $800(USED)-$7000(NEW) but you might be lucky find cheaper on more costly ones.

What are two lower woodwinds?
Assuming "slow vibrations", means low frequency, then any instrument that plays in the bass register would fill that bill. Bass clarinet (or the lower and rarer contra-bass), bassoon, baritone saxophone (or the much rarer bass sax) come to mind.
Is an Eb clarinet longer than a Bb in length?
I think it's smaller than the Bb Clarinet. At my school "the midget one". Eb, Bb, Ab and bass/contra. ---- Around 17"
Is the clarinet like the base clarinet?
Somewhat. The Bass Clarinet sounds an octave lower than the Bb Clarinet. It is also much bigger and requires much more air, as well as a looser embrochure. There are also a couple extra keys (depending on your model) that allow you to play even lower than low E.
Are bass and reguler clarinets the same?
No, a bass clarinet and regualr clarinet are not the same. A bass clarinet is much bgger and produces lower notes than a regular clarinet. However, they do have the same fingerings for a note. I play the bass clarinet and the reular clarinet play the same notes and t he fingering are the same but the bass is alot lower. They have there own music. They are similar in ways and different in others.
What is the difference between piccolo clarinet soprano clarinet basset clarinet basset horn alto clarinet bass clarinet contra-alto clarinet and contra-bass clarinet?
The "Piccolo Clarinets" are a any kind of clarinet smaller (and therefore higher pitched) than the Eb clarinet, the highest kind of soprano clarinet regularly used. The most commonly used piccolo clarinet (although none are common) is the Ab clarinet. Soprano Clarinet is another broad term: It is a subtype of the clarinet family including the Bb clarinet, by far the most common kind of clarinet. It also includes the A clarinet, the Eb clarinet, and the G clarinet (rarely used, except in Turkey). The basset clarinet is a clarinet similar to the usual soprano clarinet, most commonly in the key of A, but longer and with additional keys to enable playing several additional lower notes. The basset horn is larger and has a bend near the mouthpiece rather than an entirely straight body (older instruments are typically curved or bent in the middle), and while the clarinet is typically a transposing instrument in Bb­ or A (meaning a written C sounds as a Bb­ or A), the basset horn is typically in F (less often in G). The basset horn, weirdly enough, is not actually a horn. Bass Clarinets are another family of clarinets, these ones sounding lower than any of the previously mentioned. They are much larger and usually supported by a peg at the bottom (you'll notice the difference straight away, because generally a bass clarinet has a large, protruding bell and reaches the ground.) While variations on the typical key of Bb exist (Notably C and A), they are incredibly rare. The alto clarinet is usually pitched in the key of Eb­, though instruments in F (and in the 19th century, E) have been made. It is sometimes known (in Europe) as a tenor clarinet. In size it lies between the soprano clarinet and the bass clarinet, to which it bears a greater resemblance in that it typically has a straight body, but a curved neck and bell made of metal. All-metal alto clarinets also exist. In appearance it strongly resembles the basset horn, but usually differs in three respects: it is pitched a tone lower, it lacks an extended lower range, and it has a wider bore than most basset horns. The contrabass clarinet and contra-alto clarinet are the two largest members of the clarinet family that are in common usage. Modern contrabass clarinets are pitches in BBb, sounding two octaves lower than the common Bb soprano clarinet and one octave lower than the Bb­ bass clarinet. Some contrabass clarinet models have a range extending down to low (written) Eb, while others can play down to low D or further to low C. The contrabass clarinet is also sometimes known by the name pedal clarinet. Together these various types of clarinets make up the clarinet family. So, in size, from smallest to largest, they are: piccolo clarinets, alto clarinets, soprano clarinets, basset clarinets, basset horns, bass clarinets, contra-alto clarinets, contra-bass clarinets.

Whats the history of the bass clarinet?
The bass clarinet, in the form we know it today, was invented in 1838, in Belgium by Adolph Sax, who later invented the saxophone. There were earlier instruments which were clarinet like and that played in the bass register, but they were generally not much like soprano clarinets of the time.
Is the clarinet like the base clarinet?
