In a conversation about bass clarinets in general, Tom Ridenour said on a low Eb horn, it's quite common for the low E to be very flat. Said it's somewhat the nature of the beast. When he was developing his 925e, he had a choice of making either the upper B or the low E the flat note. Since the B is used more, he opted for having the low E the bad guy. The low E on my 925e is indeed flat but I don't have that issue with the Uebel. I'm not sure if low C horns innately remedy that problem. Maybe some of the tech guys on here know."

The trade off is a flat low E or a sharp upper B. They both use the same tone hole so if you relocate it to fix the flat low E, the B gets too sharp.

In theory, all the extended low notes on a low C bass could be built to be in tune since they are not usually played with the octave key (though I have done it to play some odd written tremolos easier).
