haha, congrats on being the only contra player! I'm the only Eb (soprano) player in my entire 8th grade, and the only player in the highschool is graduating, so i'll be the only Eb player in the entire highschool! Eb CLARINETS FTW! :D I couldn't magine having to control that thing, the Eb soprano is painful enough to double T_T
Can i just say i'm soooooooo jealous our school doesn't have the funding to buy a contrabass :( so i have to deal with a regular bass clarinet :( But you have an awesome sound for highschool :)
Great job!! I'm glad to see that someone else is willing to put some serious air into the contra! Most people who play the contra are bad Bb clarinet players who don't really want to play contra, and they end up playing really softly. I'm glad my video inspired you to make a video response! Maybe you could make a video of the whole piece with your accompanist sometime? I would've made a video, but it was more than 10 years ago that I played this. Anyway, Keep up the good work!!
im the only contra alto player in my school too! im also the only bassoonist. not the only bari player is though.
