 Re: Bass clarinet - Buffet Prestige or Selmer Privilege?

Das Blashaus say on their Website: "We have developed the solution to the intonation problem of the Selmer Privilege bass clarinet: The B-flat mechanism!" (https://blashaus.ch/en/bass-clarinets/#b-mechanik)

It's a retrofitted Bb-mechanism, which I suppose concerns the throat Bb and is thus similar as on the Tosca and the coming Backun Q bass.

I don't have much of personal experience of the Privilege bass, but others who have, is the throat Bb flat or sharp - and about how much? Does any alternate fingerings help, and if so, which?

Anyway, since the Prestige apparently doesn't have this issue (despite a "regular" Bb-mechanism), that could thus be an advantage over the Privilege - for the OP to consider.
