Re: Which Bass Clarinet?

I've played the Kessler and I've been told it's about the same as the Ridenour (give or take a clean, oil, adjust). It's a good bass for the money if you don't want to take a flyer on a more unknown entity. Fora period it was kind of the only thing in between the Bundy level and a professional model.

I recently played with some bass clarinetists, one of whom had a Royal Max that he was very happy with and sounded excellent on. Another player was considering upgrading from his Yamaha and asked to try it. I was surprised how much better he sounded right away. I think he's already ordered one.

I want to put it up against my old selmer 33 next time. I'm guessing my selmer will hold its own for tone but will be beaten on intonation and evenness of response. I know my horn well and I'm not looking to switch but I could easily see it being an easier instrument to play beautifully.
