BASS CLARINET NECK

In recent years, we have developed our own bass clarinet necks that are stiffened and have more mass. Thanks to the continuous S-bend tubes, the precision-calibrated tube bends and the thicker wall thickness, the energy flow has improved again compared to the first series.

Bb-action for Selmer Privilege bass clarinet

We have developed the solution to the intonation problem of the Selmer Privilege bass clarinet: The B-flat mechanism!

The Selmer Privilege bass clarinet has many positive qualities, which is why it is popular with soloists and now, thanks to the B-flat mechanism, also with orchestral musicians.

BASS CLARINET POSITION LOCK

Stress because of a bent flap or a stripped cork is history with the self-made position lock. It guarantees the same setting every time you plug it together and can be fitted to all makes and models.

BASS CLARINET GIS HOLD-DOWN

We have developed a switchable hold-down, which can be switched on or off with a handle, whether the GIS should be held down or not. Depending on the style of music, a hold-down can be optimal or simply annoying.

The Selmer bass clarinets are equipped with a rigid G# hold-down, the Buffet bass clarinets do not have one and the G# can be opened like on a Bb clarinet. 

Today a G sharp hold-down is optimal, tomorrow it is a nuisance, depending on the style of music. For certain scales, a held-down G sharp is very comfortable, but for certain multiphonics, glissandi, etc., as well as Klezmer music, this function is a hindrance.

BASS CLARINET OPTIMISATION BUFFET PRESTIGE

DAS BLASHAUS has developed a package of measures to remedy certain functional weaknesses of Buffet Prestige bass clarinets. The optimisations enable safe handling and, among other things, finger sequences that are compatible on Buffet and Selmer instruments. Depending on your wishes, only individual points can be implemented.

CONTRABASS CLARINET OPTIMISATION FOR SELMER

In close cooperation with the soloist Professor Ernesto Molinari, we have developed a package of measures that significantly optimises functional, acoustic and intonation problems in line with the BLASHAUS Exkulsiv philosophy. Depending on your needs, we can also implement only individual points.

Everything for bass clarinetists

Artists

Our exclusive bass clarinet bows allow players to put the energy into the instrument faster. They can increase the blowing pressure and thus have a more guided playing feeling. Acoustically, this results in a sound that is even more present, fatter and more focused and that carries better in the room.
Many artists are enthusiastic, according to their own statements. Below you can take a look at some personal opinions from musicians around the world and see for yourself.
