What does a bass clarinet sound like?

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! :)

I think you mean "bass clarinet", and they're usually about $1250 if they're resin, and $3,000+ if they're made of grenadilla wood, depending on the quality, range, and brand.

However, if you mean bliss clarinet as in the model LeBlanc makes, they can be $1,000+ just depending on where you buy them from.

How do you make an old clarinet look brand new?

Step 1

Take the pieces of the clarinet apart and remove the reed.

Step 2

Dry the inside of the clarinet by threading a soft cloth back and forth through the top and bottom holes, as well as using a cotton swab to clean out the small air holes.

Step 3

Dip a cotton swab into a container of silver polish and drag the swab over all of the silver parts of the instrument. It may be helpful to hold the piece of the clarinet in your non-dominant hand and the cotton swab with your dominant hand. Add more silver polish or use new swabs as necessary.

Step 4

Remove a new microfiber polishing cloth from its package or inspect a used cloth to make sure it is washed and clean. Gently scrub each piece of the clarinet's barrel, in between the keys and other silver, nickel or metal platings, with the cloth until the instrument shines.
