I have an Eb Ridenour and Play with someone with a low C Ridenour, and another with a Eb Harmony.
First of all, the intonation is great, in all kinds of weather (temperature and humidity).
I also have a Buffet 1193, which is truly a professional instrument.
I do not consider the Ridenour or Harmony professional level for a professional orchestra or band, but fine for blues or jazz band.
I only use mine now for outdoor concerts.

Has anyone had any experience with Ridenour bass clarinets? Am considering
purchasing one to use occasionally in a professional situation. I know his
soprano instrument are quite fine but know nothing about the "harmony"
instruments.
