Re: Help me buy a Bass Clarinet + Links

Hi! I know it's been a while, but I've been really busy.

I've gone to a music store to test out the Ridenour (because of shipping, it's at the store to check for anything bent or loose, etc) and the other b.c. they have, the Jupiter 675N.

I tried the Jupiter and it was okay. The tone is better than the one I'm using from the school (LeBlanc something, I can't read the engravings well... "L60"?), but it felt weird in my hands, probably since it's new or whatever. It's kind of hard to speak a high G (the middle C fingering + register key, sorry my musical vocab isn't grand) but then again it's the same way for my current one so it's probably just I'm not that experienced at it yet and I just have to keep practicing.

Now I think for the Ridenour they were still repairing it as the lady at the front said she retrieved it from their repair area, and when I tried playing it, I just couldn't get anything to speak. I don't know if maybe I put something together wrong (there's a lot more rods in many places than the one I'm using, so maybe I put on the throat wrong or something? ...) and nothing would come out or just squeak. I'm coming back at the end of the week to try again though since I've read many satisfied reviews as of recently and I refuse to give up on this Ridenour.
