i play trombone mainly, but i also play contra-alto clarinet, and basically every Bb and Eb clarinet. My band director is letting me play contra-alto in my january concert, wish me luck
What reed brand/size do you use for the contrabass? I just got my own contra a few months ago and am trying to figure out the best brand/size for myself. Switching between Vandoren and Legere. Also, do you use a Rovner ligature? -Dan
@@wnbands I use Legere 2.5. Glad to hear you’re picking up contra! It’s not a Rovner but it is that type of ligature. I think it’s RG or something like that?
You can tell by his body movements that he's living the moment

Contra Alto Clarinet is the funnest instrument to play on this song.
¡Muy Bien!

You’ve got a great sound! BTW, (silly question) is the contrabass clarinet too big for the marching band?🤔
@@gwiyomikim5988 WAY too big lol, it’s as tall as me and I’m 5’11
This makes me considerably concerned if I should try contrabass clarinet as a Bari sax player!
He’s rlly making me wanna switch my instrument 😭 (I play clarinet)
@UuluvvEmani everywhere could always use another bass/contrabass player :)
@ your right:)
@UuluvvEmanicontra-alto is also very much need!
@ yes it is!
How was yall Christmas?

@@ItsShader brother what do you mean 😭😭

@@Kaieno Perfect, thank you very much!
Does contrabass and bas clarinet have the same fingerings?
@@Jesus_saves_Lifes yes they do!
@Kaieno one more question, can you use baritone saxophone reeds instead of contrabass clarinet reeds
@ yes! Contrabass reeds work slightly better and give you the actual clarinet tone but Bari reeds and definitely a viable alternative.
@@Kaieno thank you
@@Kaieno I will now be switching to contrabass
is a contrabass in the key of b flat or something else?
@@renetorres-g9x it is in the key of B flat
B flat; one octave below bass and two below Bb clarinet
ok thx
