Backun Alpha Low C Bass Clarinet with Silver Plate Keywork
Finally, an affordable lightweight Low C Bass Clarinet with exceptional intonation and out-of-the-box playability.
The Backun Alpha Low C Bass Clarinet utilizes the same acoustical design and durable key mechanism found on the Q Series Bass Clarinet to provide artists with an instrument that brings the lowest bass clarinet notes to the masses. Alpha Bass Clarinets feature a neck and bell that are crafted from brass and hand-finished, providing a vibrant tone and incredible projection. From a lightweight proprietary body to hardened and triple-strike plated key work, the Alpha Low C Bass Clarinets help bass players standout in the classroom, studio or outdoor concert venues.
Unlike most synthetic material bass clarinets available, the Alpha bass clarinet features a triple pad register/Bb mechanism (usually found only on high end bass clarinets) that provides unparalleled performance and intonation throughout the upper register. This is accompanied by a comfortable angled thumb key register key touch-piece for seamless register shifts.
Hassle-free adjustable joint-locking mechanism ensures proper action and performance every time the instrument is assembled.
