If you play in a symphony or pit orchestra, you know the struggle of sight-transposing C parts on your Bb clarinet. You probably also know that buying a traditional, top-tier wooden C clarinet can be a massive financial investment for a horn you might only use a few times a season. The Ridenour RCP-570C is the ultimate, stress-free solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by legendary acoustician Tom Ridenour, this C clarinet is crafted from pure hard rubber (ebonite). It delivers a remarkably warm, wood-like tone, but completely eliminates the terrifying risk of cracking. C clarinets are notoriously squirrely when it comes to intonation, but Ridenour's custom bore design provides incredible tuning stability and an even response across all registers.
