Hi, everyone.
My name is Edward Kim. I play sax and clarinet.
While I was looking through Contrabass.com, I saw the
"Octocontrabass Clarient." So I asked Orsi, if he can re-make one for
promo type and he replied that if I can give him close pictures that
they can investigate on then he will be able to! So, now I'm looking
for some pictures of Octocontrabass Clarinet. If anyone has some
or know where to find it please let me know.
Thank you
In contras we all love,
Edward J. Kim

Hi Ed,
Enjoy!
Grant
BTW, while looking this up, I also ran across Terje's basset
clarinet page. Not only are there C and Bb basset clarinets, but
they're all left-handed! ;-)

Thank you Grant, for always thinking on our behalf. I for
one truly appreciate the existence of this list, keep up the great work!
On another note, will you be doing any sort of updates to the
contrabass.com instrument compedium page? Maybe some new info,
new photos, etc.
Willy

Yes, eventually... Lately (like the last 18 months) my day job
has been taking up most of my time. The rest of my time is being
consumed by traveling, and contributing some samples to an upcoming
sample library... More as that develops ;-)

Since the Leblanc firm was the first to create the octocontras,
why the heck can't we get THEM to make some more for those of us who
would be willing to fund the research, etc?????? I mean, even
though they don't have the specks anymore, I would think they would be
able to re-create them based on the instruments that are already in
existence. Is it because Leon Leblanc was the only one interested
in these instruments and that now he is no longer around, there is no
support from the Pascucci's???
By the way, is there any definitive answer for the current
location of the BBBb octo?

I have send a message to Mr EPPELSHEIM about making an
octocontralto or contrabass clarinet :
He replies :
e) It's possible four you to make an octocontrabass
clarinet OR octocontralto clarinet (like those were made by
LEBLANC)?Have you some demand about it ?
Demand yes- acoustical possibilities no: I made a lot of
experements with plastic tubes in different diameters and with
different mouthpieces, the result is always the same: It takes a lot of
air pressure and control to make the air vibrate at all, it screeches
all the time and you cannot play the second partial, the 12th.
So it would never be a workable musical instrument.
Greetings,
Mr EPPELSHEIM

So Mr. Eppelsheim couldn't achieve successful initial
experiments for an octo clarinet. All I have to say is that the
Leblanc firm obviously had made successful octos!
What blows my mind is the fact that Leon Leblanc wouldn't have
made a recording of these instruments as soon as they were
developed. Or maybe he did and we just don't know about them.?

The fact : if a lot of persons write to LEBLANC for asking to a
new octocbcl perhaps they will reach our demands...
