I requested repair of Bass Clarinet to Susumu Instruments.
And Its pitch problem was cleared by cutting of neck.
Eventually total length of neck cutting was about 10mm.
At last I can enjoy playing Bass Clarinet. (^_^)b
And then I made Bass Clarinet Stand.
Originally this Stand was microphone Stand.
Of course, it is possible to still use it as a microphone stand.

The new Bass Clarinet's sound was not bad. But its pitch was low, 440hz or lower.
Especially throat G pitch was very low. The reason of low pitch was neck that was another model's neck. And perhaps this model's standard pitch was 440hz. Oh my god!
I returned lt to dealer. He shortened the neck by cutting.
I received and checked it again. Its pitch was little higher than before repair.
But the pitch problem was not quite cleared. (-_-;)
