message: Why is "The Light Fantastic" linked to the article about the Terry Pratchett book of the same name?  Is there any connection other than the name? -- Rsholmes 20:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Perhaps it would be worth mentioning "When I'm 64" by the Beatles? The bass clarinet is prominent in that piece, and for many may be the only place they
have recognizably heard it.Tuc 07:19, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The image(of a Buffet bass clarinet) at the top of the article and the Dolphy image have been added and removed a few times, so I'm wondering what's up.  The Dolphy picture looks familiar (album cover?) and I suspect it's under copyright, but I don't know.  Maybe the editors who originated the images and/or made changes can sort it out. It is helpful to indicate why an edit is being made, BTW. Special-T 15:10, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Checking the image pages for both those photos, both claim the images are available for unrestricted use and both give links to the sources of those images.  However, checking both those web sites, I see nothing that indicates these images are not copyrighted and their use restricted.  I suspect this use is in violation.  I don't know the proper procedure at this point, though.  (Note that the glicibarifono image is one I took myself, and so far as I know there are no copyright issues with it.) -- Rsholmes 23:55, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I edited the picture from Rsholmes.  I do a lot of photoshop work, and I used to play Bass Clarinet in Highschool.  If I have inadvertantly offended anyone by my edits, or if you feel the image would look better in some other orientation... then feel free to message me. Azoreg (talk) 18:25, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else think the popular music laundry list has gotten out of hand?  I've listened to "Comfortably Numb" dozens of times and if there's a bass clarinet part -- which I certainly do not deny -- I've never noticed it (and believe me, bass clarinet parts are something I do tend to notice).  I wouldn't call it notable if it isn't noticeable.  Some of the other entries strike me as obscure in the extreme.  Is there really any purpose served to have a list of "every popular song we can think of that has some sort of bass clarinet part in it?"  Two or three really well-known examples, like "When I'm Sixty-Four" and "Epitaph", should be sufficient to make the point, and these could be mentioned in plain text rather than a list. -- Rsholmes 11:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've tried really hard to hear the bass clarinet on "Vermicide" to no avail. I highly doubt there's any on Comfortably Numb. I think Trout Mask Replica might be worth mentioning, since it's a very influential album and has lots of bass clarinet, but most of the others probably aren't.--Teiladnam 11:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Be bold and fix it, and add a comment note to the effect of that these are examples. The classical ones are pretty silly too, as many of them probably just have a part without any prominant solo passages. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 11:42, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

message: This section states concerning notating bass clarinet in the bass clef in Note a
An example of this notation is in Paul Dukas's symphonic poem "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".
"The Sorcerer's Apprentice" by Dukas is scored in treble clef with sections written below about G on the treble clef written on the Bass Clef. This is unusual though not unheard of even on the Soprano Clarinet. Scores written on the bass clef have a transposition of a major second, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" has a transposition of an octave plus a major second.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.5.5.191 (talk) 17:06, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

message: I'm wondering why there is a category for "American jazz bass clarinetists", but no category for "jazz bass clarinetists" that are not American?  There are a few of those, you know.
Either a new category needs to be added, or perhaps the "American" part needs to be dropped, and the existing category broadened.
