David, as someone who also straddles the line quite a bit (College juries performed on bass clarinet, Band, Orchestra, Musicals, and occasionally pulling it out during a jazz or funk set), I completely agree with you. I've been lucky enough to play enough different bass clarinets to know almost exactly what I want from one when I can purchase my own.

I'm very excited about some new contenders really showing up in the professional bass clarinet world. I'm excited about a scratch Yamaha because before this latest generation of professional soprano clarinets, I thought they always lacked in sound. Just too thin to even think about playing one in an orchestra or a pit gig. It wouldn't cut. The 622 I got to try also suffered from the same plague. I felt shrill compared to my 1193 and I was even looking for a brighter sound than the Buffet gives me. Their new professional clarinets changed my mind about their sopranos and I hope their new bass changes my mind too.

On another note, I believe we should be expecting a Backun entry to the bass clarinet market sometime in the next couple of years, hopefully. The only information that I've gotten about a Backun bass clarinet is that their first model will likely be their top shelf bass and priced accordingly. Could take a car loan to get one!
