I have been learning how to play bass clarinet in band I’ve been playing for about 3 or 4 months now.Its been hard adjusting to the bass clarinet after playing the regular clarinet for a year now. Most people don’t know what a bass clarinet is it is basically a giant black and silver saxophone with keys like a clarinet. It also plays extremely low notes that resonate out of the bell. Some bass clarinets have keys all the way down to low d flat sadly mine only goes down to e flat.
