Someone here mentioned they have a 33. I played mine in 2005 with the Rome Festival Orchestra...got severely depressed...traumatized during the gig, quit in the middle of it...flew to Budapest and sold it for 2800 euros...4 years ago I had the bread to buy a new 1193/67 and had opportunities to play professionally in Arizona...my therapist talked me out of it...so I gambled $250K away over the next 2 years...now I'm clean from gambling 376 days...no bass, but the LA winds near Los Angeles needs a CB player...if they can get a horn, I'll buy a mouthpiece...at least I got a Bb back...a Buffet S1...I play lots of different instruments and sing and write...but the clarinet...we all had to start somewhere...and my S1 will be with me till I bite the dust,,,I'm almost 59 and disabled..ain't lettin' go of this little S1 thing...bass? Who knows...in music and life, ya just never know...

A couple of years ago I played a Yamaha plastic in a community band. Nice horn but very sharp...had a vito...nothing compares to the real thing...wish I never lost that 33...but as a
gambler...I lost a ton of stuff...but that's yesterday...it's all about the NOW.

Wish you all the best in bass clarinet land.
