I am not familiar with their bass clarinets, but I have seen their oboes.
Our repair tech hates them. He thinks they are junk. The last time I
heard one compared to a Renard oboe, there was no comparison. The
customers (young kid's parents) bought the Renard, even though it was a
good deal more expensive. Even they heard the difference in tone and
intonation right away.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
