This was the favorite type of contra clarinet of Mark Hindsley at the
U of Illinois. He used them exclusively as a true bass to a section
of b-flat and bass clarinets. If he could avoid them, he did not use
E-flat or alto clarinet parts, preferring to use low register
mezzo-soprano or bass clarinet in place of the alto and flutes in
place of the e-flat. He would re-score a number of pieces to conform
to this ideal. His main concern was intonation as he had done tests
on the other instruments and found them lacking;-)
