Re: Yamaha YCL 221 III versus Ridenour RCP-925e

Hi Hank.

Like you I play clarinet in a community band, but I switched over to the bass a few years back. My main horn is a Yamaha BC 221 II, which I like very much, but I would prefer a superior one (not made out of plastic) since I am getting older and can afford whatever I like.

The Ridenour BC is made out of hard rubber and is under consideration by me. I owned a hard rubber Bb once, and I have good memories of it.

The least expensive wood BC is the Leblanc low Eb which is close to $6000. My main soprano is a Leblanc LX, and it is quite nice, with great intonation. I would expect their BC to be the same.
