Subject: Re: bass clarinet extensions
 

i haven't gotten a mailing from this list in about a week.  did i miss
anything?

i have been scanning past issues of "the clarinet" magazine at a
local university music library.  in a 1983 issue, there is an ad for
bass clarinet extensions that you can install yourself.  it also says:
1. no modifications to your clarinet.
2. modular construction allows addition of D; D & Db; or Db & C, as
required.
3. easy & accurate adjustment.
it said to write robert taylor musical products, 3128 N. 1st Ave.
tucson arizona,  85719

i checked for rob't taylors in tucson on yahoo search.  there were
about 6 of them listed, but no one on 1st ave. or listed as a business.
does anyone have any info about this?  is he still making this?
how well did it work?  where is he?  would this work on my humble
bundy?  any help is appreciated.   nick delmatto.

Subject: Doublebass wood choices.
 

Hey folks, I'm new to this list, and I hope this is an
approprite question.

does anyone know about doublebasses made of wood besides the
traditional spruce/maple?  and if so, what are the results
of the sound?  I'm especially interested in exotic hard
woods.  I can't seem to find any information about this.

Thanks,
Ken Klehm

When I saw Gary Carr at a master class many years ago, his bass had a top
made of White pine.  The slab of wood came from an old New England Barn,
and was in one piece, with no glue joint in the middle.  The rest of the
bass was the traditional Maple.

Subject: Still a few bugs in the system...

It's not even 12/31/99 yet, and already...

Seriously, the digest seems to be stopped up, while the immediate posts are
still going through.  Don't be surprised if you get a couple of "welcome"
and "farewell" messages in the next couple of days.  Rest assured, I have a
current list of subscribers, and (this time) their immediate/digest
preferences, to resurrect the list as needed.

Please stand by...
