Re: About that Ridenour Bass Clarinet...

Wes,
Undercutting can only do so much. I've overhauled and modified literally a couple of dozen single-register-vent bass clarinets, including Robert Malernes and all their stemcils (Conn, Olds, King, Linton, Lyon & Healy, Evette-Schaeffer, etc. etc.), Noblets, Leblancs. a few Bundys, and some odds and ends --- I've done moderate tonehole undercutting and radiussing on every one of these --- all were improved to some extent, but hardly any of these ultimately played as well as a decent double-register vent instrument. FYI.
By the way, the labor cost to undercut is not that huge --- I don't understand why some manufacturers don't do it.
