I have searched all over the internet for a few days now and can't find any independent reviews of the Wilmington Low C bass clarinet by Music Medic.
It looks like a great horn. It's about 1,000 dollars more than the Kessler, which is highly reviewed. But the Wilmington pictures look like it might be a better horn, for example it's got 6 right hand pinky keys vs. the Kessler's 5; and the low D, Db, and C keys have rollers which the Kessler does not. Finally, the Wilmington is a composite of Granadilla wood and hard rubber. I'm interested in what anyone on this forum knows about the Wilmington. I have messaged Musicmedic both on Facebook and in an email, but have not received a response. That in itself could be a bad omen (?)
