Backun Q Series Grenadilla Low C Bass Clarinet
The Backun Q Series Bass Clarinets set the standard for what bass clarinet playing should be.
Designed with an intense focus on exceptional intonation throughout the registers and a beautifully engineered mechanism, this series of professional bass clarinets has no equal. From the triple register mechanism to over - and under-cut tone holes, stunning nickel-silver metal neck and bell and a thoughtfully designed custom Compact Marcus Bonna Case with bass stand straps, the Q Series Bass Clarinet is a new low, even for Backun.
The Q Series bass clarinet features a triple pad register/Bb mechanism 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. The Ergonomic adjustable right hand thumb rest with curved lip and neck strap loop supports easy reach of the intuitive roller-enhanced Low Eb, C# and C thumb keys.
Hassle-free adjustable joint-locking mechanism ensures proper action and performance every time the instrument is assembled.
