This grenadilla body is coated with a dark professional finish, giving it a striking look that brings out the Protégé’s glistening keywork. With its silver-plated keys, the Protégé simply feels good to hold, giving you the freedom to sweep across all registers of the instrument in perfect comfort. The Protégé’s keys are also tailored with water-resistant black leather pads, ensuring the clarinet’s longevity while also adding subtle touches to its overall look.New Traditional barrel and Backun bell Beyond the grenadilla body and silver-plated keys, the Protégé includes additional furnishings that only Backun can provide, including the New Traditional barrel and Backun bell. Together, these essential items enhance your performance by improving the clarinet’s overall tone and response. The New Traditional barrel is one of Backun’s earliest innovations, featuring an exotic wood body with integrated wooden rings. This novel barrel design yields heightened response and even articulation, while also giving the clarinet a rich tone. The Backun Bell also provides the clarinet with a bigger sound and improves its response — especially on the low end. The bell and barrel also eliminate the metal rings seen on most other clarinets, which can rattle, buzz, and fall off your clarinet if left unchecked. This eliminates meaningless repair costs as well as enhances your tone. Joined with the premium grenadilla body, the Protégé will blow you away with its exquisite sound and exceptional response.Backun Musical Services: reinventing the clarinet one piece at a time Founder Morrie Backun started with a small woodwind repair shop outside of Vancouver, Canada. At one point, he was asked to overhaul a clarinet with a missing barrel. So he set out to make a brand-new one using exotic cocobolo wood, thus creating the very first Backun clarinet barrel. After that point, Backun gained international recognition for designing and creating a unique line of barrels, bells, and clarinets. Today, Backun Musical Services is recognized as a leader in the clarinet world, inspiring players of all ages and skill levels.Backun Protégé Professional Bb Clarinet Features: Bb clarinet with Boehm key system, featuring 17 keys Made from naturally-aged grenadilla wood Silver-plated keys and black leather pads deliver responsive and reliable performance New Traditional barrel and Backun bell for improved tone, stability, response, and projection Unique, ringless design which reduces repair costs Adjustable thumb rest with neckstrap ring Comes in a backpack-style case SpecificationDetail Type Bb Soprano Key Bb Level Professional Body Material Grenadilla, Unstained Key Finish Silver-plated Bell Material Grenadilla Barrel Length 65mm Barrel Material Grenadilla Bore Poly-cylindrical Tone Holes Standard Pads Custom Black Leather Springs Traditional Flat Thumb Rest Adjustable with Neck Stap Ring Mouthpiece Sold Separately Ligature Sold Separately Weight 1.63 lbs Case/Gig Bag Softshell Backpack-style Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
