This is my first SOTW post. I have found this site after a failed attempt for sometime to find a bass clarinet neck.
I'm primarily a sax player and recently got a Selmer Privilege Model 67 bass clarinet. I really like everything about it except for the angle of the neck. I find that I can get a nicer sound and its easier for me to play if I either tilt my head or stay seated with the clarinet and push it outward to make it like the angle of a sax mouthpiece. I have spent some time looking through Selmer's website and it looks like they don't even have any bass clarinet necks in their catalog.
Is there anyone that knows where I might be able to find a straighter neck that would fit my clarinet? I would be interested in trading someone or just buying one if anyone on the forum has one. The neck I have is in perfect condition.
Because the neck is 2 pieces, it seems like if it were sold separately I could replace just the part of the neck that the mouthpiece goes into. Does anyone know if this is the case?
Thank you,
Danny
