Does anyone here have experience in marching band with a Bb contrabass clarinet? It might be a possibility that I March one next year and want to know what to expect. (Also the contra at my school is a standard bass-style and not a paperclip contra.) Thanks!
Does anyone happen to know if the tuba player in the Georg Solti recording of Die Meistersinger Von Nurnberg was an F or Bb tuba, thanks!
I am sick of having a baritone. I wish to have the frequency range of E1 to E3.
I also posted this poll in R/basstrombones. Iβd like to know how most trombonist feel about the particular contrabass trombones. Iβd appreciate it if the people responding to the poll had a good idea about the particulars of each trombone. Iβve heard good things about the F, and the Bb, and Iβm not sure which one I want to go for. This poll could help give me an idea of which one would be more worth going for or looking into.
This was quite difficult to play. I actually almost made an unplayable arrangement, but here it is anyway!
Brands put aside, Iβm highly interested in obtaining a contrabass trombone. I hear that F ones sound clearer, but can sometimes hold restrictions with low notes, while Bb ones have a heavier slide, but a more common size. Understanding how most bass trombonist feel about each one could help me get an idea about which one I should look into more.

Iβm trying to get a stand for the contra alto that Iβm temporarily playing. Is there anything that would work?
So my school is doing a thing where we do section bands(clarinet group, etc...)and since we have 21 clarinets, they decided to hand out the lower clarinets. I'm a freshman so i thought they would keep me on regular clarinet, but they decided im a contra!
