I am assuming you mean "G in the octave above 128' C". My calculations indicate a straight bore clarinet would have to be 7 meters long to sound this fundamental of 12.25Hz. Are these made from wood? What is the bore size? Have you recorded them?

Det er bagsiden af interskandinaviske læsefærdigheder. Mellem os i denne vores diskrete eksistens mellem listefæller uden disse færdigheder:
Det ville have været uretfærdigt at tage røven på dig ved en oversættelse. Og det gør Du så heller ikke mod mig!
Back to the repertoire topic on a much lower level of ambitions:
Having done a lot of arrangements for less usual ensembles during my time as
a music school teacher I am still committing crimes during my retirement.A list fellow on both the TubaEuph list and on this list, Chuck Guzis, has
kindly offered to host 3 of my scores, 2 of them made recently:A rendition of the cello solo in the 2nd movement of a horn concerto by
Antonio Vivaldi. Playable by 2 to 5 instruments (3 tenor/baritone
instruments, a contrabass instrument, and a guitar).A joking presentation of a an old Viennese folk tune "O, du lieber
Augustin". Here scored for flute, alto sax, optional trumpet, baritone,
tuba, and piano. Should be playable on a student level.A sample of late 19th century dance music for band: The Helicon Schottische
by J. H. Woods. As the piece appeared to be possible for a brass quintet
with tuba solo, I made such a score.At
http://www.tubastuff.com/klaus/klaus.html
Chuck has given short introductions to each piece. Scores and parts are
downloadable in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
Each piece has a preface by me.
Transpositions and clefs might not be ideal for the exact purposes of all
instruments relevant to this list. On demand I might provide parts for other
instruments, than the ones initially thought of.Enjoy! These scores can be used free of charge. But some feedback would be
wellcome.Klaus

I'd hate to see anything removed. Without knowing what the original title *is* (babelfish doesn't do Norwegian), isn't there perhaps an alternate title that preserves the character of the piece without being *overtly* naughty?

PS: anyone care to tell me offline just what it *does* mean?

Subject: [CB] Non-Boehm Contra
Just noticed this on eBay: a Linton contrabass clarinet, in metal but not the familiar Leblanc format. It is difficult to see from the pictures, but the RH4 keys look like the Oehler-system - definitely not the 4-5 keys we're used to here. Actually, the horn reminds me of a nickel-plated tubax... See http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&tc=ps&item=443527203. Unfortunately, the starting bid is US$1K...
Enjoy,
Grant
