Which large bore clarinets to buy?

Author: Kalashnikirby

For a while now, I've started playing with more and more "air" than ever and feel that open mouthpieces are perfect for me. Does that mean large bore clarinets are what I need? I feel that my Leblanc 430S bass, which has a whopping 24mm bore, is so much more fun than any German style bass - just for example. I have too little experience with Viennese style clarinets, but why not try them, too?
Sadly, I've settled on the Boehm system, but now that I know B&H made large bore clarinets you why not try to find used Symphony 1010? Are they very difficult to adjust to, do they play less in tune than current Buffets and Yamaha's?
These all might look like naïve questions, but I just really don't understand the many debates around B&H, in other words. Why is their top clarinet in the eyes of many not on par with a R13 (and others)? And what other large bore clarinets can you guys recommend? Are there still new Boehm system ones being produced? IiRC the Series 9 by Selmer ist another large bore clarinet - one hat I actually got to try - and I was deeply impressed by it.

Best regards
Christian
