Best. Thread. Ever! I so agree with you, it feels like facebook event anytime you find another bass clarinetist!
How long have you played your bass clarinet?
>I have been playing for about seven or eight years now ^^
What brand of bass clarinet do you have?
>I believe it is a Selmer, but it was a loaner. Selmers are the best, in my opinions anyway.
Prefered reed? Size? Marie Clare and Vanduran.
>Size 3- 31/2 Possibly a 4, but no time soon.
Any interesting stories dealing with your instrument? With the band you play in?
>When I was audidtioning for reginals my baby borke costing me a seat in it, I missed out by like one or two chairs! My craziest memory would be the trip to districts, anything that happened on the band bus, and of course, running into a door for freshmen year band camp. What about you?

Any interesting stories dealing with your instrument? With the band you play in?
>Well, every summer there's this summer youth wind ensemble but i cant ever go to it because i go to california to visit my dad o.o sadness
crying but my fellow bass clarinetist borrowed my bass clarinet to audition for this wind ensemble. As she was walking into her audition room, she miraclously dropped my baby on the tile flooring and all the sides keys got bent to the front of the instrument
crying this was a practically new instrument. My band director told me this story when i came back from the summer and ended the story with, "needless to say, you're the only one thats ever going to use this instrument." XD
>I have a lot of memories with my band XD too many to list actually. But i especially love during marching season, there's always that occassional exclamation on the bus, "Where's my pants?!" XD only band nerds would understand that <3 And another random question would be, "What's the name of your instrument?" And the name of my instrument just so happens to be it's brand name, Leblanc XD i love it
