I'm returning to playing bass clarinet after many years. A great concert band has formed in my town and I'm currently borrowing a Selmer USA student horn which is like wrestling a maniac trying to play it. (My teacher popped his mouthpiece on and agreed). With that being said, I'm in the market for my own horn. After 2 zillion hours of research on the net, I have narrowed my selection down to 3 horns which are available. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Leblanc 400 (single register vent, currently being totally reconditioned) $2,200.
Buffet Crampon 1180 (single register vent) $4,000.
Yamaha YCL 621 (double vent) $6,000.
With the very limited availability of what appears to be quality horns on the market, I think I should start a new biz!
There seems to be a lot of student models which appear to have been used as weapons in Afghanistan.... and some high end professional models... leaving not much in the mid range.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!!
