Amazing, thank you so much!!! I was listening to "Spirits" (Pharoah Sanders, Hamid Drake, Adam Rudolph) and "8th of July 1969" (Gunter Hampel) and in bothe albums there was this didgeridoo sound without the actual instrument being listed in the arrangements. But both albums had a bass clarinet haha. So thank you very much for solving that puzzle! :)
Not sure if any of your videos deal with this but my former schoolmate tried removing the mouthpiece entirely and fingering the lowest note and he could play it the exact same way a real didgeridoo is played.
Hi, Peter -- is the "low C" you refer to the one that is on the 5th space below the treble clef? I thought the lowest note on the bass clarinet was an E (or perhaps Eb).
Yes, that is the Low C you are thinking of. Most Bass Clarinets go to a low Eb (older ones go to low E), but newer and more premium bass clarinets go down to a low C
Great! Thank you for sharing!
This technique is called harmonic glissandi
