Which do you perfer bass clarinet or bassoon?

definantly bass clarinet.

Well, considering you posted your question on the clarinet forum, most of the people are probably going to say bass clarinet.

If you really want a fair answer, post the same question on the bassoon forum.

However, I think bassoon's rock!

Is that a joke? Bass Clarinet may be a supplement to the bassoon part, but that's ALL it is. Bassoon defnately soounds richer, is more challenging, and has a much more impressive range in terms of sound.

agreed. Bassoon definately wins.
However, I guess bass clarinet could be kinda cool. =D
