It has been some time since the Shanghai Music Exhibition in 2023. The biggest dark horse in the clarinet category is undoubtedly Rigo, the new Italian brand! In addition to traditional models, Italian Rigo also brought and released two low order models, Rigo Vita and Rigo Lampo!

The two low price models of Rigo can be summarized as follows: easy to blow and high cost performance! It can be the best choice for other brands when your budget is insufficient. According to Rigo, these two bass clarinets are made of rubber hose and wood hose.

In addition, Italian Rigo asked the Rigo staff on site to introduce and show the details of the models of rubber hose and wooden hose to the editor in detail at the Shanghai exhibition. "Smooth and sensitive" is that both Rigo and passers-by on the site gave unanimous praise to their two low order products. Therefore, the editor also took this opportunity to try to play the two bass clarinets of Rigo, Quite good indeed!

As we all know, compared with the ordinary B-flat clarinet, the air consumption of the bass clarinet is very large, and it is also difficult to pronounce sensitively. When beginners start to play the bass clarinet, they usually encounter great difficulties due to the maladjustment of mouth shape and breath, Here we need to popularize a little common sense about the bass clarinet playing: playing the bass clarinet requires more mouth opening, and there should be no squeeze on the whistles. The amount of breath needs to be very much, which is about several times of the normal B-drop.

How about the experience of Rigo's two new products? From the overall experience, the biggest impression of Xiaobian is that the pronunciation is very easy. When Xiaobian used the normal method to breathe, he found that the two instruments can vibrate more open except for their very smooth breath and good connectivity. There is no feeling that cheap instruments can vibrate poorly. In addition, Xiao Bian also purposely switched to the new blowing method of bass clarinet - open less mouth shape and breath to blow, and found that it could be easier to pronounce, but also more stable.

Based on this situation, I judge that Rigo's positioning of these two low order product models is a cost effective killer! For those skilled bass clarinet players with insufficient budget, they can provide very good performance, stable playing and good sound. For those novice bass clarinet players who have years of experience in common B-lowering, they can quickly start playing and guide you to the normal low single blowing method. For children in primary and secondary school orchestras, the rubber hose provides a good choice, While pronunciation is easier, the voice and key system status are more guaranteed.

To sum up, these two low order models are worth looking forward to! In addition, compared with the same level of brands, the price is not too expensive. It is basically the same kind of competitive products that go a little lower. Therefore, in the era of consumption degradation, if you are not a Tosca low order or a noble low order, these two low order models are still worth trying!
