Question:

How hard is it to find a bass clarinet?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Not difficult at all. Simply inquire at a music store that sells woodwind instruments. Even if they do not have one in stock they should be able to order one in for you. Disadvantage of this would be that they would probably want you to buy it as opposed to getting a chance to try the instrument before deciding. Any decent store in a large urban centre is likely to have one available for you to try out.
