I observe a bit of Ridenour "hype" on this forum. ;-)

Tom Ridenour cannot defy the law of physics. For all clarinets with one register key, the wide twelfths have to be placed somewhere.
The three copies of Lyriques/Libertas I have tested have had flat E4-F4-F#4 with the E4 at least 10 cents flat. That tone is commonly used and has to be fingered on those clarinets when exposed. So far I prefer a "traditional" flat F3 instead, even though it cannot be fingered.

I haven't played any Backun clarinet. For excellent tuning and affordable price, I'd go for a used professional level Leblanc.
