I'm not sure Caroline Smale will be too happy about being called "a girl" but she's not alone in liking the B+H bass clarinets. They are hard to find, but very good instruments.
My bass is a Buffet from 1933 and it sounds much more colourful and rich than modern basses... but even with some extra rollers and re sized register vents etc does not play close to the modern bass in terms of eveness of tone quality and intonation. I don't care, I'll play my old grandpa anyday!
