Re: Review: Ridenour low-C bass clarinet

Hi I would stay away from the G4M bass clarinet, I know a couple of schools that have bought them, the rods and keys bend far too easily. Consequently if you get it working,it will only be a very short time before it's not working again.

Having been an owner of a Selmer low C in the past, they are fantastic clarinets. I sold mine because I went for several years not using it, biggest mistake I've ever made, bearing in mind their value now.

However in recent years I've had a need for a bass again, and finally settled on a Yamaha 221 series 11 and its blow very easily and in tune. I have heard comments that they blow sharp, but provided you've got the good sense to pull the neck out far enough they blow perfectly in tune. It's the only student Bass that comes close to a Selmer, and perfectly adequate for my needs now.

The Lyrique was not available when I bought the Yamaha, but I would definitely try one now, the reviews are impressive.
