Bass Clarinet

B# is the same as C.

So low C would be all fingers down, low E key and the bottom thumb key (if your bass clarinet has a low C)

Middle C is thumb and 1st 3 fingers

Upper C is thumb, register key, all 6 fingers down plus the bottom C key (on either hand)

High C is thumb and register key

(Super C is thumb, register key and index fingers)

Because it is extremely heavy and it would be terrible if you had to hold it for an entire concert.

A REALLY cool Bass Clarinet solo is "Ode to Joy". It's really fun and low and sounds very cool on it.

Well first off, I have been playing the Clarinet for quite a while now, so to me it might sound different than someone who isn't in band or plays the clarinet...anyway, I think the clarinet is a beautiful instrument and produces a magnificent tone...if the player carries themselves with good posture, then this will improve the tone also. A good reed always helps too! :) Overall the clarinet is a great sounding instrument which produces a sound close to a Bass Clarinet or possibly Oboe or bassoon. mainly the bass clarinet though..hope this answers your question! :)

No. You shouldn't, that's bad "technique". When you are learning it may be OK, but you must get rid of the habit if you are planning to be good with the bass clarinet.

The Leblanc Model 7182 straight body contra bass clarinet is approximately six foot tall. I am 5 foot 9 inches and the instrument stands taller than I do.

Try typing it on Youtube.com because they always have videos of people demonstrating how to do it! Good luck! =D

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.

Benny Goodman.

It depends entirely on the piece but usually 1 or more comonly none

It's just like a B flat clairinet, or Bass Clairnet, you just put more air into it.... same keys, and same fingerings.

A piccolo is a half sized flute that plays an octave higher then it's full sized cousin. A clarinet is a reed instrument that, while also from the woodwind family, plays at a lower range then the flute and is held vertically rather then horizontally.

There are innumerable other differences, but these are the basics.

It has Clarinet, Bassoon, Trombone and Tuba. It doesn't have Bass Clarinet or Euphonium.

My Yamaha b flat clarinet is 26 inches tall. :-)

Who Cares because he wanted to be famous

YOUR MOTHERRR

Odds are that there is no such thing. There's a slight chance that there could be a regular clarinet transcription somewhere, but your best bet is to look for a piano book of video game music and transpose as necessary.

Thanks, I'll try to find clarinet then.l

The bass clarinet add a different sound to the harmonies. Rather than the trombone or bass guitar, and bass saxophone . Its a different bass sound .

There are two standard types used in modern day bands: the most common version plays down to the E-flat below the staff, you need a bass peg to hold it up high enough to play. This kind is the more affordable kind and is good for middle school students and most high school students.

The second kind has what is called a "Low C extension", it can play down to the "C" two octaves below the staff. This Bass is longer and only requires a short peg (or when the player's torso is short enough, no peg). This Bass has more keys (meaning more delicate) and can be more expensive to maintain. Most Low-C Basses are built for high end performance, they are good for top band high school players, college players, and professionals. This type of bass has more agility and has a better tone on average, but some companies are making budget extended bases and they are not very good.

If you want to get your own bass it's important to know how far you want to go with it. If you just want to play for fun then stick with a high end standard bass that goes to E-flat. If you want to go to college and be a pro, get a high end Low-C extension.

(interesting fact: in the early 20th century Bass Clarinets were also made in the key of A, while it's still possible to get them, they have fallen out of use in bands/orchestras)
