Updated per information received from Steve Kujala, Reed 1 in the Los Angeles production
The Reed 2 book for this show is not used in the touring version (but it is used on Broadway and was used when I played the Las Vegas production). The book requires a bass clarinet to low C.
Updated to indicate low C bass clarinet; added listings for US tour and Las Vegas production. Thanks!
For the Bansuri in low A, does that mean the tonic is A, making it the key of E. Or does that mean key of A, making the tonic D?
Updated based on information received from Dave Weiss. Dave adds that some players elect to play certain passages on additional bamboo flutes in C and G. All flute keys listed are based on the 6-fingers-down pitch.
