I have heard and played the Amati against the Ridenour and the Buffet E11.
I would rank E11, then Ridenour, then Amati.
A Grabner C mouthpiece does wonders for intonation as well as ease of play
of all of them.

Keith,

Thanks for information about Amati. The C clarinet i have borrowed
that sounded good was Arioso (Ridenour design, hard rubber) then
$1000) but I don't know if that is still available.

Does the Amati use same mouthpiece as Bb/A?

Are the tuning flaws consistent?
