Re: Student model bass clarinet

I did play jupiter , bundy ( both plastic or whatever ) and older leblanc wood models. I did prefer the jupiter as the most responsive , the wood ones for the sound quality.

As long as you have a single register key setup , certain jumps from low to high ( region clarion F,G,A , B ) are difficult or nearly imposible , even with a lot of training. Probably an excellent mouthpiece could make the difference you need. I'm not very impressed with older basses ( concerning playability )

One exception : the older conn basses with double register key play very well. Had one , unfortunately to low E only, so i sold it.

The ridenour double register bass is very tempting , but i live in europe and don't know anyone who tried it.

Best Regards
