Re: The German Bass Clarinet Revisited

Thanks for the in-depth review!

I recently had a chance to play on a Seggelke bass clarinet. That model had Boehm key system on a german style bore and it required a german mouthpiece.
That instrument was very impressive. If didn't have a Boehm instrument to compare it to, but I did not feel it lacked anything in the volume department. Going from A to B over the break was very smooth and it felt very even through-out. I wouldn't mind owning one - not at all - but it is an expensive instrument (almost 3x the price of the above mentioned Foag).

Joshua - how did you order your instrument from Mr Foag? did you use a dealer or visit his shop in person?
