Low C vs Low Eb Selmer Paris Bass Clarinet Comparison
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 7 měsíci
Hey everyone, I hope you're all having a beautiful and memorable day. This is a video showing the difference in timbre between low C vs low Eb bass clarinets. Specifically this is between a Selmer Paris model 67 (low C) and model 65 (low Eb). I have found the Selmer bass clarinets to be the best in the world. I have tried many others, yet none have as open and beautiful sound. I am interested t...

Baritone Saxophone Comparison: 1959 Low A Selmer Mark VI vs Low Bb 1952 Selmer SBA vs 1932 Conn 12M
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 8 měsíci
Hey everyone, this is a video show the differences in tone between a 1959 Selmer Mark VI low A baritone, Low Bb Selmer Super Action (SBA), and a 1932 Conn 12M. Each are fantastic horns, although the tone is more open to my ears with the Low Bb SBA and Conn 12M. I still believe that the Selmer Mark VI is the best (or one of) low A baritones available. I have been asked many times over the years ...

축하드려요 멋지네요👍
Actually low C sounds better. Sounds more uniform from note to note, more focused, and perhaps the intonation seems better
Great Sound + Passion displayed on this great ‘ol standard. Thank you.
The performance here was definitely blossoming beautifully! 🎵🪷
Great tune and very well played! Thank you. 🎶🌉
Delightfully mellow. 🎵💋 Of the ones I've listened to, this one had the arrangement shimmer slightly more.✨
Very tasteful and beautiful! Thank you. 🌠 This isn't your fault, the tune is too calm for those lovers to be properly star-crossed, it should have been a movement from a suite, in which things got much worse after this movement.
A great tune and very well played! 🌆💃🍸
An atmospheric arrangement, to be sure. Well played! 🎶🎧🤩 I'm a little surprised the video didn't show the outside of the Taj Mahal at all, seeing it is at Agra.
❤ 'Yet another example of AWESOMENESS ❣️
Awesomeness ❣️ 😺👏🏾🖖🏽
Totally GORGEOUS. Go Bass Sax, GO!!
Great tone & vibe! Thanks for posting this!!
Lovely job.
You're the best on bass sax ❤
Nice to hear someone playing a beautiful melody with love, instead of using it as an opportunity to shred. Can’t wait to hear Lil Durk’s version!
I enjoyed the pleasant chill vibe in this tune. Very well played, thank you! 🎶🎧🤩
Instantly fell in love with this thing after hearing you play,nice job👍
knocked it out the park !
Awesomeness ❣️
Wow, it‘s beautiful
Bloody love this , I'm a baritone saxophonist and I've just started to learn the bass clarinet 6 days ago , it's hard but I won't give up 🙌🏿
Interesting. I want to hear a distinctly different tone quality between the two and its extremely marginal if I do. By 'more open' does that mean projection, I sometimes ask? And yes, being capable to play those bottom three notes on the low C model, especially in a run or conclusion to a musical phrase surely is a strong reason to love being a bass horn musician? Suddenly jumping up an octave on a descending run grates musically, especially in a situation where you're the only bass horn in the ensemble. And I'd love to have the one-each choice! For all but the determined pro musicians its mostly the Eb for the disproportionate cost between the two models.
I envy you , sir...to have such a magnificent experience with so noble and complex of an instrument, even if you are not quite as accomplished yet. May that dream be realized !😊
Beautiful playing. You hear and feel- leaving behind what is irrelevant to expression.
sba sounded most clear. the low notes of sba/Conn, responded better in low range.
Great collection,,wowww..thanks for sharing..
Love the sound of your conn baritone saxophone so warm and a lovely tone
What about the Durga 5?
I’ll probably do another video including that and a few others like some vintage Berg Larsen pieces in the future but I never played a Durga that impressed me enough to keep.
Can tell how much you love Sylvia!
Kind of like Low A baritone sax vs Low Bb....
The 12 M has a moore darker mellow sound. I think the SBA & the Mk 6 sounds great as well. It al comes down to a player's preference .
I very much agree about the preference for the Low B Flat. I have a P. Mauriat unlacquered Low A bari and its sister in Low B Flat. On the Low A, getting down around low C Sharp and lower, the is a tendency to overtone too easily. Plus, air becomes a bigger concern. On the Low B Flat horn, all the low-register notes are easy to play and resonate for me really well. A lot of great resonant feedback on the Low B Flat horn. I'm not sure if the difference is very noticeable to the listener, but playing these, I can definitely hear and feel the difference. Also, and quite importantly, the Low B Flat horn is lighter, which is always a good thing. Thank you for comparing these fantastic horns!
I like having an extra note, but I can see how the Bb would sound/feel better.
Could you tell me what mouthpiece do you use? I like your kind of sound. I'm looking for smth similar. I wanted to know what number of mouthpiece is this? Does it require much air? What number of reeds do you prefer for this?
It’s the Conn…sounded great
I can now put a voice to the name. I wanted to hear what your voice sounded like I was trying to imagine what you sounded like during our messages the other day. Hope we can talk more soon. I'd love to see you one day
Hello Brian! Sounding beautiful as usual. It’s always interesting to hear a series of mouthpieces back to back from the same player. You reminded me about the wood Lebayle that I have owned for some time… the first mouthpiece that I ever loved :) Take care, and hope to see you in person soon.
Hey Shirantha! Thank you for writing, Yes I hope we can hang sometime soon, that'd be wonderful! I wish that Fred was still making the wood pieces. Its become extremely difficult for him to get wood that is aged and of high enough quality to do it so he hasn't made any for the past ten years. I'm still pushing him and several other friends like Carl Maraghi are as well :) Take care, B
@@bluelandrusInteresting! Well I’m happy to add my voice to the campaign if it helps. I used the wood piece exclusively for about 3 or 4 years, until something changed and it didn’t seem to play as well. Perhaps it warped… hard to say… but I still have it. Fred was kind enough to make me a hard rubber piece with a ring ligature about 15 years ago, and it still serves me well.
Michael lowenstern is my favorite bass clarinet and he played bass clarinet!
Great!
I have a purple label YBS-62, but I've been on the lookout for a Bb SBA!
Interestingly I actually prefer your sound on the Low C, especially the lowest notes- they sound denser and more even to me, while the Low Eb sounds overall more spread which isn't my cup of tea, even though I'm aware that you prefer Low Eb. To each of their own, I guess. PS I also play a Selmer 67 Low C albeit modified by Blashaus(the addition of a throat Bb vent and an enlarged Low Eb tonehole, as with the Buffet Tosca). And I play various genres from classical to jazz to experimental and many others, which may have influenced my preference for the Low C horn's sound.
bay mpcs rock!
99.9% of bass clarinet players dont need a low c model! only once have i seen a low d written in a part .
Depends what you'll be using it for. If you're a reed doubler, you'll see a bunch of low D, Db, and C's in musicals, studio work, and orchestral/band repertoire. Having that range comes in handy and most of the time expected. If you are just playing in a big band, you can get away with just a low Eb. I'd say 99.9% of bass clarinetist need a low C model.
Yes, most Eb’s are louder , fuller , & more persnickety… but to play the D, Db , & C is a must in a lot of situations in music ….
Very true. I always ask if I need the low C or not before sessions and always take the low Eb if possible. I’m not sure what you mean by persnickety, but if you mean more attitude I agree 😊
The Eb sounds way fuller on the bottom, but that's probably bc these are near-bell notes. Otherwise both sound marvellous and you sound incredibly even between registers.
Thank you for listening :) the bottom range of the Eb certainly has more sonic width than the C.
I'm pretty sure the model 65 has a vent in the bell for the low E-flat, same as buffet basses, which is probably what creates that fuller sound.
@@pukalo yes there is a vent key on the bell, but I have owned many vintage Selmer low Eb bass clarinets that did not, and they still had a broader overall sound than the low C.
The low Eb is lighter and it has a better intonation.
coooooool sound Mr.Landrus, How are you?
Hi!! I’m doing great, I hope you are also!!
The Eb sounds less restricted, more open, but I’m not sure I would hear that the same if I didn’t know which was being played. You sound fantastic on both!
Thank you for listening :) I agree the Eb feels more open.
The low Bb SBA sounds best to me, but I am not sure that the Conn wouldn't eclipse it with another mouthpiece.
the sba sounds like a big tenor i liked the sound. because it sounded like a regular sax just really deep and warm. sort of crackly umph that you get for a vintage bari. often Baris sound heavy this was a really unusaly beautiful sound
