This has the SMOOTHEST bass !  

😉

Yeah, take that Davie 504

I play Bb clarinet but not bass clarinet…there are only two bass clarinets in our entire symphonic winds band, a senior and a freshman lol

@@claire_and_layneethere’s only two bass clarinets in my high school; a junior (me), and a freshman

Me, among other instruments :)

@@claire_and_laynee I’m the only bass clarinetist in my school so

I MARCHED WITH FOUR TOTAL

Wise words 🤝

💛

😂

Me personally nah, I tried saxophone and I guess I was so bad my band teacher at the time just moved me to bass clarinet, and I've just stuck with the instrument 😂😂

Plzzzzz, the low Clarinets always go lower than their Saxophone counterpart. Bb Bass Clarinet has the same fundamental pitch as a Tenor Sax but it can go ALMOST one octave lower with the Bb extension. Got to get a BariSax with an extension to hit that same low concert Bb. That disparity continues on as the Clarinets and Saxophones get bigger.

@@nolimitsnuttbusts4u I have never seen a clarinet go lower than b flat my guy. And I play clarinet.

@@Lionheartsmh What part didn't you understand?

🤝

Thank you ! 💛

Davie504 would be proud

Nice ! The bass clarinet is such a versatile instrument, that's also why it's my main instrument :)

You're a connoisseur ! I have indeed a Low C extension, I wanted the most bass possible haha. It's a Kessler Custom V2 Bass Clarinet and it's more affordable than the ones from major brand

I just recently bought a Buffet for significantly less than average price. It still hurts so much.......

Yeah i have never seen a extension one before 😅

Thank you ! 💛

@@Another-Cool-ThingWhat solo was that by the way?

Just an improvisation :)

Never without a strap 🥵

​@@Another-Cool-ThingWell I march shows with a low c bass clarinet without a strap and honestly I got quite quickly used to it. In the beginning it is quite painfull im the wrists but it's fine.

@@corinneeberli6093 Wow, I don't know how you can do this !

This is my secret technique 😂

Ohhh ! Yeah I love it, it's my main instrument :)

Eyyy

I'm glad you liked it ! :)

Thanks ! I still need to improve my embouchure, this is not easy 🥵

Is this a contra alto bass?

It's a standard Bb Bass Clarinet with a Low C extension :)

Glad to hear that ! Keep spreading the bass clarinet vibes 😊

@@Another-Cool-Thing gladly

Thanks ! It's just a little improvisation :)

Hello, I use a Selmer Focus :)

😂

He's German I guess ?

It's planned :D . I have some other instruments to show, but I'm in the process to transition to longform videos (that's why recent videos are shorter, but also of better quality) and I'll redo some of the instruments I've already shown like the Hulusi. Thank you for your comment :)

@@Another-Cool-Thing indeed, I'll be waiting for it

For me, in the low register the bari sax is more punchy and present, while the bass clarinet is more smooth. Two different usages :) . But when I put a Fibracell reed in my bass clarinet I found the sound to be a lot brighter and closer to a saxophone... This gave me a video idea ! I'll shoot a little comparison :)

Yeah ! Check tutorials on RU-vid from Beatbox Sax :)

You just have to remove the mouthpiece then try to do the didgeridoo embouchure, I don't have a didgeridoo tutorial but you can check on RU-vid :)

Haha thanks 😊

😂 Joke aside, the modern bass clarinet was created by the inventor of the saxophone, and this was before he created the saxophone so the shape of the bass clarinet was an inspiration for him when creating it :)

Yeah I love it too !

Yes ! It's the exact same fingerings for the Chalumeau and Clarion register :) , the notes are also the same but just one octave below

K tysm for answering!!@@Another-Cool-Thing

😂

I would love to have a Contralto Clarinet !

Yes❤!!

The embouchure is quite tricky to find, try to raise a bit you head (like if you are looking upward), Earspasm has a video on that subject :)

Thanks!@@Another-Cool-Thing

I have a low C extension on mine, that's why it can go to Bb :)

i wish i had a low c bass clarinet@@Another-Cool-Thing

It's a Low C bass clarinet, it's still a bass clarinet but has a 3 keys extension :)

😂

Hello ! It's a Kessler Custom Low C Bass Clarinet (Gen 2), it's one of the best Low C bass clarinet a this price range (2500$) :)

@@Another-Cool-Thing thanks so much

You'll have to remove de mouthpiece to do this effect, this position is similar to the ney flute embouchure, it's quite hard to get but it's a nice trick :)

By removing the mouthpiece and playing in the barrel like a didgeridoo/trumpet :)

It's just a mini improvisation :)

Omg it's true ! 🤣

The tongue bends into a spoon like shape and apply a suction to the reed, it pulls the reed backward then release it, producing a "Pop" sound If you blow air while releasing the reed you'll do a nice attack for your note :) You can also do "Open Slap Tongue" by opening your mouth when you release it I do both slaps in this video :) Check tutorials from Beatbox Sax on RU-vid, I learnt that way !

Exactly ! 😉

Wonderful!@@Another-Cool-Thing

Which pickup model do you use?@@Another-Cool-Thing

​@@wiredbassclarinetIt's the Wood model from PiezoBarrel, I asked a professionnal to sold the adaptator on my bass clarinet neck, and you how did you fix it on your instrument ?

@@Another-Cool-Thing I also had a professional tech solder mine on - I have it on the right side of the lower section of the neck (my neck is also a two part neck, like yours).

I'd love to play a contrabass clarinet, even just a contralto 💛

It's just a short improvisation :)

It's a Low C bass clarinet, it has 3 extra notes on the bottom register :) . This clarinet is a Low C Kessler Bass Clarinet Gen 2, it costs only 2500$ and is quite good :)

Thanks ! :)

It's maybe my intonation...

@@Another-Cool-Thing I'm asking because I have tinnitus and it's really bad at the moment so it could be that. Anyway, does it take a lot of effort to play the bass? Lower saxophones (e.g. baritone) takes much more effort than say soprano or alto.

@@jazzeuphoria For me it doesn't take a lot of effort unless I try to do something like a walking bass or any fast repetitive bassline

So, you want war 😤 ... 😂

Because this is a Low C bass clarinet, it has 3 extra notes so it's longer than standard ones :) It has the same diameter though

@@Another-Cool-Thing cool 👍

Always ^^
