So I'm 3rd chair Bb clarinet and this year we have enough solid clarinet players so I'm thinking about switching to bass for concert season even though I've never even touched one XD. What're the main differences between the two (besides the fact that one's obviously bigger XD?

well I ended up making second chair clarinet (after a chair challenge and losing first chair XD) so I was never assigned to bass, but now our director just obtained a mouthpiece for the Eb Alto Clarinet, so he said he might have me play that XD
