Hello All
I am new to the forum and am hoping I can get some advice. I recently retired and borrowed a bass clarinet
from a local music store. I played quite a bit of bass clarinet some 40+ years ago, as well as bassoon and sax(which I still play) but I do not recall having any difficulty playing above G years ago.
The horn is a cheap plastic Vito student instrument and is unbelievably stuffy above G, in fact I had no problem playing up to E.
Is it the horn or do I just have to woodshed it until the horn speaks clear?
thanks in advance
Ron
