Last week I wrote about spectral multiphonics for Bb and bass clarinets and I promised that I’d supply a chart for the contra as well, so here it is.
While I’m talking about the contra, I thought I’d just bring to your attention the two other posts I’ve made about this instrument: there’s a selection of various contra multiphonics as well as a post about using low register colour fingerings.
