Re: Purchasing an affordable Bass Clarinet

One problem with "stored as one piece" two joint bass clarinets that I have seen over the years is that the socket has cracked. I don't know if this was from the abuse while assembled in the case, or from some other cause, but I've not seen the same sort of damage in a two piece body that was carried disassembled.

Leblanc used to do this with their high intermediate horns, the ones in the pro line but without the register vent on the neck. They even fastened a strap across the joints, the better to keep them together. One of many odd things that came out of Kenosha...
