Hello All!

Has anyone ever heard of a Brasspire Low C Bass? Is it worth looking at?

Sounds like a new addition to the ever-growing list of Brand Names of the Generic Chinese Low-C Bass Clarinet.

If you haven't heard of it, and a Google search turns up nothing, then 99.99999% sure that's what you've got. Plenty of relevant threads on this BB.

David, this instrument isn't totally generic as one might guess - check the picture on their website. This bass has a very unique arrangement of its thumb keys, plus there's a RH pinky Low D key, which I also haven't seen on plastic basses yet.
Also, there's a intonation hole in the bell.
Other elements look similar to current Chinese basses, but someone put some thought into this one! I'm intrigued!

Best regards
Christian

I'm thinking about buying one and seeing how it is. I've been talking with the maker over email and it seems that there's been some heavy thought on this one based on how he was talking. If I do get one, then I will definitely let you guys know how it is.
