Re: A GOOD inexpensive bass clarinet?

It is hard to find fault with the Ridenour 925e bass (I did not go for the 925c). I had one before my "significant other" upgraded me to a new Selmer Model 65 for my retirement.

But if I had to keep playing the Ridenour, I would have had few if any criticisms. It is a GOOD and inexpensive bass clarinet. It has a double register key and a LH Ab/Eb key; both are usually found only on more expensive bass clarinets.

I did carry mine in an old 5 piece Selmer case as the 925e comes only in a one piece Protec-like case; the sections do come apart.

PS The myth that the keys on the Ridenour are soft and go out of adjustment easily is "fake news."
