 Re: RZ clarinets extended their lineup - Amati insolvent!

I can do a low C to G tremolo no problem on my Prestige with just the thumb key. Yes there are a lot of keys to move, but having the springs balanced and regulated well is indeed 'key'.

It's a shame no other maker has used the Leblanc-style RH forked Ab/Eb mechanism on basses as that offers possibilities that aren't always practical or easily doable with the Ab/Eb lever (eg. low Eb up to Ab up to Db repeated). Having BOTH LH and forked Ab/Eb would be good.

But the addition of a front low D touchpiece on the RZ basses does bring them into the modern age. As long as it's as nicely balanced as the Buffet (and Uebel) one and not like the previous Selmer one which was far too short.
