The school system where I 'borrow' a bass clarinet for pit work has a few newer (~4 years old) Yamaha, a few older (~15 years old) Yamaha, and a whole lot of ancient Bundys. I've played every one of them looking for a personally 'suitable' instrument.
The Yamaha clarinets were the worst of the lot. I always end up taking home an old Bundy.
Not the 'best' horn ever made, but the one that I usually get speaks clearly throughout the range and doesn't have any major tuning issues.
Student, Intermediate, Pro.... Who cares about it's 'classification' as long as it plays well.
