Subject: RE: Tunes spanning a ninth
There are certainly people who welcome your effort and are likely to profit from it. Note however that the instrument in question is essentially a G clarinet (as used in 19th century Vienna folklore under the name "Piksüßes Hölzl"). I never had one in my mouth, but the maker claims it to be capable of more than two chromatic octaves, though some notes are bound to sound a bit strange and to be difficult. Intonation is certainly a challenge.
