Re: Help- what Bass Clarinet to buy?

If we are discussing "back up" basses nearly all of the previous mentions should be considered (Vito, Bundy, LeBlanc, Yamaha, espically the ridenour)

I think one consern that has not been brought up is having a great repair tech look over your bass. I was able to get my hands on an old low C LeBlanc for almost nothing and saved up to have it rebuilt/overhauled. Now I use in in my college ensambles and haven't had much trouble with it.
Even new instruments will need adjustment. I believe you and your daughter got a bad impression from the Vito because it was in less than ideal condition. I understand that overhauling a new/used instrument sounds unnecessary but please seriously consider it. Especially with bass clarinets, where one small leak could cause big trouble for the whole instrument.
