Episode 393: How Low Can You Go?

There is a general fascination with all things bass: String Bass, Bassoon, Bass Trombone, Bass Clarinet, Bass Drums, the Bass knob on your stereo, and of course, Tuba.  It has to do with those long frequencies that help the bass tones envelop the listener and travel much farther out. {thump}

On this episode of Wind & Rhythm, we explore this fascination and answer the question "How low can you go?".
