Re: Help- what Bass Clarinet to buy?

From our own experiences the E flat Yamaha 221 (Japan made) was an excellent instrument. However we decided to buy a low C bass. Once we heard the Buffet low C, we were spellbound and then poor. The prices of the Selmer and the Buffet are eye watering to say the least. We did try a Kessler low C but it had some issues. The key work was very stiff and didn't suit my daughter (14 years old with long fingers but not strong fingers!). That instrument was $4,500. There is no intermediate low C model, the Yamaha low C was around $9,000 and we paid $16,000 for the Buffet. Big Ouch!
