Re: Which large bore clarinets to buy?

I think what it boils down to is the extent of the undercutting. I have spent most of my career completely ignoring everything that was not directly related to my improvement as a player, to include how the interior of the clarinet is designed. BUT I do have two bookend bits of info that I hold onto. When I first started in the '70s the dealer was keen on selling me a Buffet because they played more critically. "Listen to how softly you can play on it compared to the Selmer (a 10G that I bought)." He pointed out that the Selmer did better pitch bending because of the undercutting. More recently, upon some questions to a great repair person, I was told that you can lower the pitch of lower register notes by filling in the undercutting with nail polish. That lowering has much less affect on the 12th above.

Beyond that I remain blissfully ignorant.
