Today we made a stop to pick up a few groceries and this trio was just outside the store. I asked the gentleman on the end about the one instrument he had and was told it was a bass clarinet. He then asked if I would like to hear it. When I said yes they graciously abliged.
The instrument seems to be a curious cross between a saxaphone and a clarinet. The coloring of it initially made me guess clarinet but the curve parts from the mouth piece and at the bottom led me to question my guess. Thanks for clearing it up. Fun shot of the trio.
