@everyone before you right a comment saying more I just want you to know this was my first week of bass clarinet though my sister this was her 7th year if you want an updated version I made a new one a few days ago with in fact MoRe AiR (this is not a rage comment btw)

As EVERY band director says MORE AIR. Edit: I play tuba and bass clarinet, so I do practice what I (and my band my directors) preach.

as a bass clarinet HE NEEDS MORE AIR

Bass clarinet was so good just letting all bass clarinet players know when you put on your reed just finding the “heart” of the reed and pushing it in a few times gently will help with raspy news :) it rlly helped me out!

Can we talk about her little hop at the end? It was amazing.

As a flute and my friend is a bass clarinet I always see my band director yelling MORE AIR!! 💀💀 also this is very good

The parents said no to the Sax so he got a Bass Clarinet Edit:My phone has been blowing up and I didn't think of it at first and turned on do not disturb and then I checked back and oh my lord this comment escalated quick thank all of yall for the likes. Second edit: I fixed my Grammer.

Clarinets go hard

I have a friend who plays bass clarinet. And since I’m a loud bari sax I want him to play loud as well and this is just some advice for the bass clarinet use more air

you can play quieter without the airiness, it depends on if your mouth piece is opened or closed. with closed mouthpieces you don't need much air for good tone so it's really good for beginners, but with open mouthpieces you need strong consistent air through the instrument and a steady embouchre. I'm telling you this as a bass clarinetist.

ITS NOT JUST ABOUT MORE AIR, TRY RAISING THE BACK OF YOUR TONGUE TO INCREASE THE AIR SPEED. THIS MAY SOUND LIKE IT WOULDNT WORK, BUT IT CAUSES THE AIR TO BE REDIRECTED AND FORCES THROUGH A SMALLER OPENING.

As a bass clarinetist myself. My band director often yells "Bass can never be too loud."

The girl's tone is absolutely beautiful!

Bro finally another fellow bass clarinet on the internet

All of us in band at my school had never heard of a bass clarinet before, so it was cool when the band teacher brought one in for us. One of the clarinet players transitioned to bass clarinet, so it was weird not seeing her with the clarinets but up near the brass section. Btw I play flute if anyone was wondering.

hey i play bass clarinet too! One good tip is to use a lot of air because the bass clarinet is one of those meant to be loud instruments

Y’all sound really good

All I hear from the normal clarinet is And I’m bleeding And I’m bleeding and I’m bleeding right before the lord

As a joke I would like to say should my new name be "the more air kid"? Also thinking of possibly doing a q&A vid what you think!

.....me over here plays loud and has plenty air I made my band director for the very first time in his life say less air and he was proud....for the base clarinet

So I've played the bass clarinet for 8 years and at a competition a judge came on stage and told me he wanted me to play as loud as the tuba player and i actually managed it. But i will say this was AFTER i self taught myself to play the Baritone Saxophone which requires A LOT more air. After playing the Bari now for three years for Jazz Band. (marching with it for two) i am A LOT better at the Bass Clarinet and can be A LOT louder. It just takes work. (But another thing is Bass Clarinets just don't really project...well when marching which i did march with one for two years but on stage you should be fine. At the time of writing this I'm a senior in highschool and just had a Christmas Concert at my school and had a solo on the Bass clarinet which was heard very well.) Lots of Love to any and all Bass Clarinet players!!! ❤❤❤ Ps. Go BARI as well!!

bro that high part was so smooth

You’re both doing so great!!! Don’t stop now :) I play clarinet too, you’re doing a great job with those above- octave notes!

I LOVE THAT MELODY ... I PLAY CLARINET AND IM HOLING IT RN FINNA PLAY FURIOSO

Dear Mr.Bass Clarinet, As a Saxophonist Myself I would recommend getting a 3-3.5 reed.and if you already do try blowing with a bit more air Dare Mrs.Clarinet, You did fine 👍 PRACTICE

Hey i have been playing bass clarinet for 2 years now you are gonna kill it in the future. I have played clarinet for 4 years you are awesome girl

I play kit drum for this song in my band thing and i must admit my foot instinctively started playing the part I play lol

I play the sax but recommendation: Use more air for a more clear sound, whem you dont it sounds "airy" and you could barelt hear it when the clarinet was plating. More and just tighten the corners and its a whole lot better🤙

as a bass clarinet, you just need more air!!

THE SLAYYYYYYY I LOVE THE BASS CLARINET! AMAZING SOUND!

Bro is just got a clarinet today

Let’s go another male bass player great job first week of playing your getting the hang of it

I just here alot of spit and not enough air from the bass clarinetist, good for the age though

Im going to get a sticker soon to put on my case that says "Clarinet, I wet my reeds with the tears of the brass players" I got the sticker

LOVE IT I just started playing clarinet. I cannot do that

I love it! Great job both of you❤😀 & 0:20 "yeah"

Me: I suck at bass clarinet. Everyone telling him to use more air and the sound being a little quiet (sounds great tho) me:... Wait I don't sound like that am I actually good?!

That lick on the Bb Soprano Clarinet was super good! 👏

To those saying he needs more air… no. What he needs is probably a softer reed, maybe even a different cut, maybe more mouthpiece in the mouth, probably a softer embouchure. Playing with more air just creates squeaking when the improper equipment or technique is used. Not saying more air won’t benefit at all, but that’ll only get you so far

He seems to play a little quiet maybe bring out the back he's the foundation have him play a little louder but not where he's louder than the melody of the girl on the clarinet.

As a sax player I always hear my band director saying MORE AIR

No offense just advice. Base clarinet needs more air and a little more tongue. I play a 5 reed instruments so I know the struggle

Bro killed it!

I play bass clarinet and clarinet I suggest for bass blow harder and if you bring the melody down it would sound better but thats just my opinion.Great job

I feel like I'm the only flutist here rn💀 I honestly don't know why i watch instruments with reeds, and why i get so many on my recommended..

It'd be great if each one of the bass clarinets notes sounded like the first one

The fact that I play both and know 7 nation army on both

Keep up the great work it sounds great

This such a good one I watch this so many time ❤❤

As an artist They're doing amazing and will get amazingly better, they're just kids wow

I’ve been playing the clarinet for six year here’s so tips of you want them. It’s really good but if you want it to sound better you gotta tounge the notes make them clean and sharp. For the Airy noise check your embouchure which is the shape your lips are in to control the amount of air and check your reed. Hope this helps!! Amazing job!!

i feel like ive seen the girl in my band class before…

y'all really got dem dogs out, also nice

This is the most middle school thing I’ve seen all day

Hey it's amazing playing I love the videos

The reed is so dry that my mouth feels like it’s falling apart and I’m shaky it’s just just like the feeling because I play saxophone this happened before and it it does not feel good on your teeth and it’s gonna be the chills

As a bass clarinet player I think you definitely need to be more confident and blow more air and maybe do the same thing but one octave down

more air, better posture, straighter back, dont be nervous because it affects the tone and form in which you are playing a song.

as a clarinetist myself the bounceing back and forth is so relatable lol

Contrabass Clarinet joins the chat: “BRRR RR GRRR” piccolo: “sorry, what?”

“We have a saxophone at home”

We need a contrabass clarinet (I play Saprano B flat, Bass, and Contrabss) this will sounds awesome with that.

MORE AIRRR

The Taner Saxophone is really cool

He doesn't need more air he needs a better placed reed and better voicing more air can help but there are other factors but all in all just continue playing more and you will improve

i play bass clarinet too!

You sound amazing!

OMG SOOO GOOOD!

Ima listen next time I’m told to use more air 😂

The best two clarinets dou

Fantastic!!!😮

Great job 👏 I play bass and regular clarinet myself very good 👍

For us bass clarinets in mb we have to play this high not low 😊

That’s sounds sick keep practicing

As a clarinet player I now need to find the notes for this

Wow i have never heard or seen a bass clarinet! Im only familiar with a normal Bb clarinet! But the bass clarinet sounds and looks so cool! It must be fun playing it! But one tip: you probably might need a little bit more air but aside from that, everything sounds amazing 🤩

Wow that sounds really good!!!

Yess omg I play the "normal" clarinet, not bass! But he did SUPER WELL! So did the girl! Great job guys!! 💖

Played that for marching band before covid hit clarinet

I’ve been in band for over 7 yrs and I play trumpet and all I got to say is more air to support your sound on the bass clarinet

All you need left is a bari sax and a tuba, then your set

More air big man

“FaStEr AiR”

Fantastic well done ❤

I play French horn, but I started on clarinet, but anyways you slayed this🙃

As a bass clarinet, keep your fingers closer to the keys to make rapidly switching notes easier

Yasss clarinet slayed

I played bass clarinet before tenor sax a long time ago. Keep it up, you two. :)

If my band director was watch this he would sigh and yell "MORE AIR"

EVERY band director and I mean it, MORE AIR!

It’s sounds good. But it needs just a tad more air so you have your sound be louder and everyone can hear the melody

This is what the kids in my band play when we get bored

Nice!

My honest opinion as a bass clarinetist is sustain the same amount of air throughout the entire thing, don’t be afraid to be loud also keep your hand close to the keys for more efficiency and as a clarinetist look over the notes again because it don’t seem to sound right

as a fellow bass clarinetist, when you are getting used to playing it your lungs must adapt to all that air being needed. I played clarinet for 3 years before switching to bass clarinet and now i can’t go back because my lungs have gotten so used to bass clarinet. So just keep practicing and you’ll get there! also, i’ve found it easier to play with a neck strap rather than a stand

Coming from another bass clarinetist, it Sounds great. Three pointers, 1. Keep your bottom lip tucked in a little more, 2. Make sure you have a good amount of the mouthpiece in your mouth and you're not choking off your sound. 3. Don't be so shy with your air! Haha, but it's amazing and I hope you stick with it👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nice tone clarinet!

to me - it sounds like your reed may be too hard/new. for the bass clarinet, i like to use a really fine grit sandpaper on my new reeds if they are too hard! it find it easier to play softer on a thinner reed! best of luck with your playing

As a trumpet player, my friend has surprisingly been told to have more air 😭

Bro you guys are preeeetty good
