  • So i switched over to bass clarinet after Bb clarinet and i thot the bass was low but damnnn after listenin to the Contrabass clarinet it kinda makes the bass look high lool. :D btw same fingerings rite?

  • @VipShawolELFJay Haha yeah the Contrabass has the tendency to make you feel bad about playing just Bb Bass =D and yes, same fingerings, ACCEPT for those four keys on the right side that you almost never use. On Contra, they just have one I think. I can't remember, I haven't played that bad boy for quite a while!

  • @ommy44 Oh okay and can you play high notes on Contrabass? Like the ones where you need the register key?

  • @VipShawolELFJay You sure can, of course it doesn't go THAT high using basic technique, but it can generally get about as high as mid-range bass clarinet. =]

  • I play the Bb and the Bass, I want to learn how to play the... well all of the different types of clarinets really, haha! I admire your work! im 5'2 ish, do you think i can still play the Contrabass? It's a real worry of mine. D:

  • @kathythezombiekiller Yup, you should be alright. However, you're going to want to get a stool, unless you plan on playing standing up!

  • @Michael99o you could try baritone sax reeds

  • dude how do u put a drop cloth thru that??????

  • Yes! My middle school band has a contra bass clarinet, and I got my hands on it

    

  • @cracuhu I play Contrabass Alto Clarinet haha tuned tooo Eb?? i think

  • @kathythezombiekiller Do you play alto clarinet xD ?

  • i want to play this soooooooooo bad. it makes the bass clarinet sound sad = ). is it in B flat?

  • how much did it cost ? holy shit xD

  • @42JohnnySmith WOO HOO!!! :D

  • @octopussperm Some Tubas go lower, but not many. Even a regular piano has trouble with this low. Also, the contrabass is one of the only woodwind instruments to go this low. Only the contrabass bassoon can. So i'd say that contrabass clarinet is cooler than a tuba. Not that I don't love tubas, they're still awesome.
