Re: Uebel emperior bass clarinet in mopane wood

I tried it a few weeks ago in Oslo(where an Uebel rep works and stocks several Emperiors at his shop), though only tried the Mopane Emperior against my modified Selmer Privilege(Grenadilla) as there were no Grenadilla Emperiors ready at the time, so I may not be answering pukalo's question here.

That said, the Mopane Emperior had a lighter and reedier tone than my Selmer Privilege, with an even response. However, the rep did tell me that the Emperior projects really well in concert halls & opera houses, and several top pro Scandinavian plays have given their approval of the instrument. I'll have to test both the Mopane & Grenadilla Emperiors alongside my Selmer(perhaps along with a Buffet Prestige) some day to make a firm conclusion.
