Yes, sorry I typed as I laughed......always a bad sign.

But I DID mean more that you do have some idea of resistance on the bass that gives you a better match here. I HATE the Yamaha bass that I have borrowed with such a passion that I cannot nearly express in words the loathing I have for this horn. I have been fine with the Privilege and the Prestige (both fine horns) as well as some "less than top quality" horns. But this particularly Yamaha has me running the other direction. I own and play CSGs so it is not a Japanese prejudice. Just the bass.

Also the keys want to bend out of adjustment faster than the Buffet or Selmer. I am always re-adjusting before a performance......not good!

I just tried the Uebel Boehm system bass today and found it mostly a lovely horn. The resonance was nice, intonation very good and the quality of construction all get high marks. I did need to immediately use the "half hole" going into the altissimo which I generally don't need to do EXCEPT for the dreaded Yamaha. So I was a little disappointed here. Also the RH paddle keys are quite thin and close together, so I believe there'd be a little getting use to the feel of the horn. But the low notes came out with no hesitation and the extended keys for the LH, RH and thumb were rock solid (unlike the Yamaha).
