Reply-To: contrabass@contrabass.comDon; I own a series 9 selmer contra- alto,and I had only a few moments
on a Le-Blanc BBb,but found theall metal paper clip to be lacking. It
felt awkward and forgien and lacked abit of the dark tonal color---------------------------------------------------------

Reply-To: contrabass@contrabass.comThe paperclip design is different than the straight design in all aspects. I
find the tone to be not as dark. And of course, there is a difference
between a wood selmer 9 and the metal leblanc. The paperclip design is
different to play at first but it is fun to have the ability to play a few
extra notes on the low end. I have played both selmer and leblanc and if all
things (PRICE!) were equal, I prefer the selmers. I have also played the
plastic (resonite) bundys and the leblancs are a joy compared to them. That
said, the leblanc horns, both straight and paperclip have been excellent for
me and are very fine instruments. I was able to pick them up at a price I
could justify as a community band musician that has never made a penny
playing a horn (a few beers here and there, but not cash!).Don

>Dave RobinsonI played the bass sax part on a bass sarrusophone. Unfortunately, I don't
(yet) have a bass sax. However, the bass sarrusophone has an identical
range and very similar fingering. Also blends fairly well with saxophones.Grant
