Playing the Bass Clarinet is not a very good way to become famous. The bass clarinet is usually played as a second or third instrument by reed men - clarinetists or saxophonists. Bass clarinet specialists include Todd Marcus, Michael Pilz and Jacob Stein.

Jazz players who used the bass as one of their primary instruments include Eric Dolphy and Benny Maupin. More famous names who occasionally played the bass clarinet include jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington's bari sax player Harry Carney, and jazz flautist Herbie Mann.

Me too - but I'm not exactly famous.
