United States United StatesI have just received my Backun protege clarinet in the mail and began to play on it. It feels really smooth and has a much darker tone than my other wood clarinet. I have had a few issues in the altissimo register but I will give it a few weeks of playing on the instrument before I ask about it.
Hi Joshua, I hope you're still loving your new clarinet and that the concern about the high notes has resolved. If not, please do not hesitate to reach out to us for support at sales@backumusical.com! Sean
CanadaThis is a beautiful clarinet and after the first ten minutes of playing I love its rich, full sound. The keys are lovely to play and although I am a beginning clarinetist (1 month) I am looking forward to learning on this marvelous instrument.
GermanyI have had a Buffet RC....and now I am finally happy about the change. More dynamics, more expression, easyier to play - I love it!
While I ended up focusing on bassoon, I've always missed my days as a would-be woodwind doubler. Not being familiar with the Backun name, I happened upon some Corrado Giuffredi videos on YouTube and was struck by the beautifully warm, even quality of his sound! I did some research on Backun clarinets and listened to others who play these lovely instruments and decided I needed to get back into playing. I've been on the look out for a Backun that would fit well with me and was lucky enough to come across the Backun Protege in Cocobolo I have now! I may be a bit rusty, but the luscious tone of the Cocobolo (paired with a Vocalise CG) and ease of playing definitely has me inspired and excited to be playing again.
