Royal Global MAX Bass Clarinet Low C & Low Eb Other

Royal Global MAX Bass Clarinet Low C & Low Eb OtherNew! Now in Low Eb flavor! Yessssss. Royal Global just released a low Eb version of their fantastic MAX bass clarinet. For those who don't need the extra 3 notes, and or who want a lighter instrument to carry, and or who are too vertically challenged to reach the mouthpiece for a Low C bass.

A: The rest height is set by sliding the plastic casing down the plate — it “clicks” into each level so you can repeat it later

the price of these instruments jumped by about $500

I think it's intended for players who want a French-style response and evenness

but quite similar)
