@aacierto@_narducci_ So personally i would steer away from older horns. I don't think there's any reason you can't get a great sound in a newer quality wooden horn if you put a lot of air into it regularly.
@aacierto@_narducci_ Just saw your FB post about this. You're getting good advice. Admittedly it's a bit my vibe anyway to go towards newer horns, but i would say that bass clarinets in particular have been much improved in the past few decades and are much more playable than the older horns.
Actually looks like this is happening! Thurs Merkin Hall NYC: new amazing expanded band and new music by Fred Frith, Tomeka Reid, Nick Dunston, Jeffrey Brooks, Aeryn Santillan, Trevor Weston, Soo-Yeon Lyuh, Annndd... a new piece by ME! Come if you can and otherwise live-stream:
I have been crossing my fingers that this will happen. But it looks like YES Bang on a Can comes to Berlin to collaborate with Sasha Waltz company. We're also doing our own music-only set. Very excited to be playing a row of shows at Radial System. Info: https://t.co/WEDoDKn7Ea

New European tour dates! Looking forward to performing works by Messiaen and Ken Thomson at the Markus Kirche in Berlin Steglitz (11/19) and Hrvatski dom Split in Croatia (11/21). https://t.co/6Jf19ueA1V
We have been delving into this work, taking apart some received traditions, and finding our personal way forward on this powerful piece that still resonates. https://t.co/OWyVg1ryXb (2/2)
Very excited to perform the Quartet for the End of Time once again on Friday night with this stellar crew. There will be NO live stream of this concert so I hope you can come. (All vaccinated audience.). (1/2)
First heard on the inaugural pandemic BOAC Marathon last May, @clusterhocket’s Birds and Ambulances is now a signature #lockdown composition, especially when played by Robert Black! But others should take it up for its use of the bass’s full range of expression.
Today at 3pm EDT - the MaerzMusik Bang on a Can Marathon produced with @blnfestspiele incl music from @DBRmusic @ArlenHlusko @vcpianos Mazz Swift @rohanmakesmusic Kristina Wolfe @clusterhocket@SteveReich @BillFrisell Tyshawn Sorey so much more!

@activecultures @NYUADArtsCenter @bangonacan@AmirElSaffar I think the convo with us and John got cut off.. but yeah it was a great experience and Amir was continually sending new drafts and we were sending files back and forth. Was great to work together. Glad you dug it; I did too!
