 Re: Bass clarinet - Buffet Prestige or Selmer Privilege?

It mostly comes down to personal preference. The Privilege is much more free blowing, but personally I didn't like that as it felt like I had nothing to push against. Both are great instruments and you really need to try them side by side to figure out which one is ideal for you.

If you are looking for a low Eb bass clarinet, I would also strongly suggest considering a vintage instrument. The original Selmer model 32 is a fantastic horn and generally costs around $3000-$4000 overhauled. The Selmer model 35 is another option to consider that will be very close to the modern Privilege while being considerably cheaper.
