Bass Clarinet Recommendations

Author: bluesgroove202

Hi there, I just graduated from highschool and have played bass clarinet for 7 years within my school's band program. With my recently developped passion for jazz through guitar, I decided I'd like to keep up with the bass clarinet.

What would you all recommend for my first bass clarinet? Before this, I had just used the one from the school.

I've been looking into the Yamaha YCL-220 and the Selmer Bundy and they look decent for my intentions.

This topic appear every month or so, so you are more likely to find a thorough discussion from the past by using the 'search' feature at the top.
A quick answer is that several have recommended YCL-221II + good mouthpiece. Beyond that it depends on your requirements and resources.
