I had mentioned that my tech was to look at the new instrument.

(I misspoke previously: he learned repair from Frank L. Kaspar, not John Kaspar.)

He agreed the tone quality was outstanding, not at all stuffy, and very much like that of a Bb. He was also impressed with how free-blowing the instrument is and with the intonation.

He said to be a little careful with the keys, for the metal is softer than that found on French instruments. He adjusted the seating of the lowest pad on the right hand joint.

He was so impressed that he went to the Ridenour site, and investigated his base clarinet, and read a review of it on a sax board.
