Low C Bass Clarinet buying dilemmas

Hi All,

My wife has for some time ,been playing a Selmer ( Bundy) Bass clarinet and has lately started hankering for a low C instrument . Given that playing clarinet is sort of ...her thing, in what limited free time she has between work and the children , I would love to get hold of one for her but of corse the prices are very daunting . When it comes to student models of the standard Eb bass clarinet , there are ones like the Selmer/Bundy and Leblanc Vito which are well known and have a recognized level of basic quality for economically priced instruments . In the matter of reviews for lower priced low C basses I really can't find much guideline information at all.

Michael Lowinstern reviews the 2000$ ish Kessler .....but that's not available in Europe ! I presume it's made in the East and assembled and regulated by Kessler in the USA. and I imagine some European brands are doing something similar. ( i.e. controlling basic product quality )

I figure that I can't be the only person looking for a low C bass who doesn't have 12,000 € to burn and so it would be great to get some opinions comparing
The European available instruments under 3,000€ with known instruments like the afor mentioned Bundy and Vito as basis for a universal reference .
