I always appreciate and enjoy y'alls insight. For years when I'd be playing a gig, invariably a piece in the concert would have no clarinet. So instead of sitting there twiddling my fingers, more often than not, the conductor would hand me an oboe/flute/violin/piano part to keep me entertained. Instantaneous transposing has never been my forte, so I broke down and bought a C clarinet to make my life easier.
I've had excellent results with Ridenour's C horn. For $1200, it was a bargain that completed met my needs. Great intonation, a cool sweet sound, plus she's a tough little horn. Resistance seems comparable to my Buffet. It seems to get banged around more than my other clarinets. I mention this as an option that may not be obvious.
