A
Bass Clarinet is a much larget version of the B flat Clarinet. It can
reach one octave lower than the regular clarinet. It's Fingerings are
the same except for an extra key that plays the low E flat. The reeds
and mouthpiece are much larger as well. The Bass Clarinet can be played
with either a stand or a neakstrap. For Marching band we use neakstraps
and hold the clarinet while in class we use the stand and place it on
the ground instead of holding it. So basically the bass clarinet is a
big grown up clarinet! :P
