Subject: Finally!


Finally! The end is now! No not D-Day, it's just all this agonizing is over... my low clarinet escapade is over. My Yamaha Bass clarinet has arrived and I love it! Everything didn't go as planned, but I sure am happy now! The bass rocks!

This is what came with it:

  1. Yamaha mouthpiece (Plastic)
  2. Stock metal ligature
  3. One #1 1/2 Marca reed
  4. Neck (Which appears to be a Bay neck by the angle)
  5. Cleaning supplies
  6. The 220L Yamaha bass (Plastic)

In the future, I am planning on buying a new hard rubber mouthpiece and a new fabric ligature. But definitly I am getting harder reeds (The register right after throat tones are all harmonics). Advice, anyone? :)
