Backun Alpha Low Eb Bass Clarinet with Silver Plate Keywork
Imagine a professional instrument designed for advancing bass clarinet players and artists, alike. The Alpha Eb is it and more!
The Backun Alpha Low Eb Bass Clarinet utilises 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 Eb 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.
