Re: Holy Grail - Bass Clarinet

A band mate I used to play with has a Buffet low C bass clarinet of vintage year, probably 50 years old if not older. What I remember most is the large size metal bell, it is much bigger and longer than our standard bell today. It approached the size of the one used on Selmer Eb contra alto.

The horn has "radio" or "opera" engraved on it, possibly a model name. Can't comment on how it plays though. At the time I thought it must be pretty rare.

Anyone else has seen one?
