I don't play the bass, I likely no longer have the air, but that was beautiful! Also, A++ on the earings ????
For me it's everything high G and up (bass clarinet, no other instrument gives me this issue)
Thank you for turning to the bass!
My weekly band rehearsals last 90-120 minutes. Once the neck and reed are waterlogged my sound and control over 2nd register and altissimo disintegrates. I have a drip key fitted, which helps, but I suspect the only solution is to have a second complete neck/mouthpiece/reed set up to swap.
One tip I would give concerning the altissimo is that you should always practice going higher than anyone is ever going to ask you to play. This makes your control of the range just below that so much more confident. My altissimo comfort zone extends a full octave above the top C of the clarion and I practice up to the F or, with the wind behind me, the G above that. However a big, conscious, change in embouchure is needed for those high notes.
Thank you, actually quite a relief to read the comments and hear your suggestions.
I’ve been overhauling an older bass clarinet and am struggling with it. Normally I play baritone or tenor sax so it’s a leap for me. The content on your channel is really practical and super helpful. Thank you again and keep up the great work!
More respect for the advises you given to improve
Fabulous !!!!!!
Like using "O" on breathing in to engage diaphragm support, I have had good results sing "la" while playing to get my throat to relax. This is handy because I can do it as soon as I notice throat constriction and not have to wait for a break in the music or stop what I'm practicing.
“ I’m All about that Bass “
That’s a cool stand, is that custom-made ?
Thank you for this. I’m new to bass clarinet. I’ve been playing B flat clarinet for over 20 years. Making the switch has been frustrating when it comes to playing over the break. I can’t play anything over an E natural without squeaking. Im going to start going through these suggestions.
Thank you, Cally! Great tips!❤
Impressive!!! What breath and embouchure control!
Hi. Love your videos!????. I have an older bass 1973 King that I dearly love. Still new at playing. Got it for myself as a 65th year birthday present to myself. So many questions…but one is how do I empty the spit from the bass mid performing. There is no exit port. So I usually take off the mouthpiece and tip it toward myself and have a cleaning cloth on hand to do quick catch of spit. But everyone near me are like What??? Is there another way? Thank you so much.
Thanks! Best regards from Brasil!! ????
