If you love it come join us.

Whatever you play is great as long as it is bassy. I play cello, bass, e-bass (especially five string), bass drum (in a drumline), sing baritone, and have in the past learned a few select songs on the tuba.

Like i said in the musicians thread, i play the BBb straight contrabass clarinet.
It's still written in treble clef though, but it just sounds three octaves below what is actually written........

I know.... strange how some of those wood winds work (you and the bari (and lower) sax)

We'll make an exception and let you in.

Sweet, I'll bring my jug.

i play euphonium bassoon violin percussion flute and accordian. but my main instrument is definantly bassoon cause i'm not very good at the rest. go bassoons! actually, i want to switch to heckelphone or double bassoon if i can get one.

Of course I follow the mighty bass clef. The bass guitar IS, after all, essential home-office equipment....

Time to get a new host.

I'm a tympanist in my HS Symphonic Winds and Orchestra, and I play Drumset and a little piano.

that's very neat, i always thought timpani(not shure how to spell it) was neat. how many people are there in your band?

In the Orchestra, I believe the number is around 608,873,608,476,843,670,674,357,264,878,906,509,845,768,903,670,597.

Symphonic Winds there's about 50, maybe 60-some.

And I'm not in a band for drumset. :(

I'm in my college orchestra, and I know the feeling.

Absolutely correct! :D

I am a devout follower of the mighty bass clef. I play standup bass and
electric bass. I need, however a full 4/4 standup of my own.


On every day, I said "Let there bass". And bass sprang forth from F-holes and amplifiers, filling the world, and all, including me, heard and saw that it was totally awesome and excellent.

You know what my favorite part about Orchestra rehearsal is? I show up, and its from 7-10 pm on a Tuesday night. However, I will play about six minutes of that entire rehearsal, because most orchestral music was not written with a tuba part.

I get SOOO much reading/work done during rehearsal.

I play electric bass, sabbath/punk/indie rock. I just love the bass so much, hell of an instrument.

w00t! Bass clef!

ME: Electric bass, piano, 'cello, tuba, bassoon.

Edit: Can't forget timpani!

I seem to be the only person here who plays the trombone.

Bari Sax, as it has been established earlier that it should, infact, be a bass cleff instruement.

That is a big freakin standup. Standard size is 3/4, and l;arge size is 7/8.

Timpani's defianantly count

Ooh, I want to join!

I'm a music education major, actually. And I play the tuba :D
Yay for us music eddies!!!!! :D

Euphonium, Tuba, Trombone, the bottom half of the piano.

Just FYI: All instruments that read bass clef are concert piched. The funny low-woodwinds that read treble are not concert piched.

I used to play the 'cello...and according to my best friend I play the euphonium...or at least she puts it on my revision schedule and reguarly asks how my non-existant classes are going. :rolleyes:

Yay for us music eddies!!!!! :D


I love being a music ed major!! Except for the theory class...it could possibly be the most terrible two hours of my life every Tuesday and Thursday. Although I'm managing to do good so far this semester *keeps fingers crossed for an A*

I like the hard hitting D&B kinda music. Grooverider and Fabio rock!

I'm another Timpanist, but I'm college level :D

Ooh, do you by any chance like darkstep? DJ Dieselboy being a prime example of it?

Yay! Another one!

I'm a freshmen in HS, so I have a bit, but what the heck. :) I'm not going to be a music maj., though.

In honor of all the bassists currently on line, I am bumping this.

When they don't write a bari sax part I was always forced to read the trombone part with an adjusted key signature, so almost a bass clef...

I play bass guitar like this (http://www.aceguitar.com/autres_guitares/b4ib_edb500.jpg) and I also used to play cello. Could never get the hang of tenor clef though.

mmmmm Cello players......if you sing torch songs in french as well you'd have managed the strangest, most specific fantasy ever...

Bari Sax counts. I would like to kick whatever retard put it in treble clef.....

and isn't the Eb to Bass clef conversion great :D

Two very good instruments (two of my three main, the third being the standup bass)

You have to understand that sax players are a very lazy group (it's why we play sax instead of a hard instrument). If we had to learn a new clef for the bottom of the family (bass and contra bass are novelties, the drunk uncles that the kids are happy that came to the re-union but not anyone else) our little heads would explode. You should see the tissy we throw when we realise that doubling means learning bass clarinet-which also means that bass clef is no longer code for E-flat...it might be the first instance we learned our instrument could 'growl'...

All your bass are belong to us.

All your bass are belong to us.

Damnit. I was about to post that.

Anyway, If tehresn't a Bari part, I always read Bassoon or Tuba, Mostly tuba.
